We had a marvelous morning game drive!  We saw giraffe, a Kori Basturd (large ground bird-largest in Africa that can still fly, ) a Gerenuk (“combination of an antelope and giraffe with a long neck) and lots of Thompson Gazelles.. I’m posting photos. Game viewing by horseback after lunch and then a night game drive after dinner.  Grant slept on a bed on top of the room last night—a star bed.  He said it was great. They  give you a really warm blanket and the birds wake you up about 6am.  It is chilly in the morning as you can see from Duffy’s outfit! :).   Fires seem mostly out, just a few smoldering areas they are closely watching .  

Our intrepid hostess, Alyssa.

Note the “M” on his rear end?  This the “fast food of Africa”!  McDonald’s on the hoof..

This is the Gerenuk.

Our wonderful guide, Seki!

And we have smaller sightings too!

Note all the swarming, biting ants .  They protect the tree from losing all its seeds to the animals because with the slightest disturbance they are out and swarming!  They do a better job then the thorns!

What majestic beauty… God’s country….

Enjoy !  More tonight!
