Kenya Day 1 afternoon

Went out for the first proper safari drive this afternoon. Passed this monkey on the way to the jeep.

Cheetahs are my favourite big cat are quite rare to spot, but we had a stroke of luck spotting two cheetahs just five minutes into the drive.

They are the fastest land mammal.

Then a few minutes later we saw a lion catch a warthog.

Before long there were a dozen lions there, including eight cubs. The poor warthog was still alive and making noises for 10 minutes or so, as the adults allowed the cubs to try and kill it.

The cubs didn’t manage it, so one of the adults then took off with it.

Next was a family of 40 to 50 elephants.

At a water hole there were a couple of grey crowned cranes.

The elephants on the move, including the babies.

Can’t see them well but that’s three rhinos in the grass.

And then we headed back to camp at sunset.
