Day 10 (Mon, 17 July ) - Samburu
Got up very early and watched the numerous baboons and monkeys annoy the cooks. Also saw a few birds.
Left for a game drive at 8am and it was already sweltering.
Samburu is quite a green, because of the nearby river, but dry landscape. Saw elephants [ (1), (2) ], giraffes, many zebra and the long necked antelope. Also saw a small number of juvenile crocs.
Highlight of the morning was seeing a herd of giraffes having a drink at the river.
Got back to camp and stayed in the tent for about an hour. Absolutely roasting. Luckily Joshua suggested sitting by the river bank instead. Only about 30 metres away from camp we sat on fine sand on the river bank enjoying the cool breeze.
Watched a family of Vervey monkeys play and drink from the river just a few yards away. Quite entertaining.
Went for a game drive at about 4pm where we didn't see a great deal ( [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] ] . Well to be honest this means we didn't see any big cats!
Had a nice dinner back at camp and turned in early.
