Samburu-Naivasha-Maasai Mara

I have been meaning to get started on this series since i got back from safari a few days ago, but being away from the office for a whole week is no small feat. The amount of work that i had piled up *sigh* I want to go back on the road 😦

We started our safari in Samburu National Reserve, if you never been there please make a point of doing so before the end of the year. Samburu might not be the biggest reserve but compared to the Maasai Mara  it is not as crowded and has a diversity of rare animals that cannot be found anywhere else. Enough rambling, onto the pics.

Just look at those ears :)
