We are back.
A Kenyan safari was definitely time well spent. Wildlife viewing far exceeded our expectaions (we were within 10ft of adult lions and saw tens of thousands of wildebeest) and we spent time with the excellent Maasai people. It was an outstanding trip in every regard despite the 26+ hour travel time on our way back to Vermont.
The animal tally:
giraffe, hippo, warthog, dik dik, lesser kudu, eland, oryx, common waterbuck, Defassa waterbuck, bushbuck, wildebeest, impala, Grant's gazelle, Thompson's gazelle, gerenuk, cape buffalo, zebra elephant, ground squirrel, African hare, black-backed jackel, golden jackel, genet cat, lion, cheetah, serval cat, yellow baboon, vervet monkey, Egyptian mongoose, dwarf mongoose, banded mongoose, spotted hyena, agama lizard, nile crocodile, leopard tortoise, and birds too numerous to count (highlights being ostrich, 3 types of vulture, 7 types of eagle, secretary birds, hornbills, several owls, and some seriously awesome songbirds)
We will be eager to tell you all about our trip.
