After one last lovely breakfast with the giraffes we were off to Samburu, a village in Kwale County, Kenya. From there, we got nice an comfy at Sasaab, a beauuutiful lodge near the reserve. But first, more giraffes...
The lighting was perfect...
I love this pic
After breakfast we were scheduled to fly out to Sasaab. It was only an hour flight but on those small put-put propeller planes. I was so worried that I was gonna get sick that I drugged myself up on Meclazine, grabbed a couple barf bags that we stole from the flights over here and I was ready to go!
I did fine!
After we landed we went straight to our jeeps and we were on our way!
We arrived at a GORGEOUS lodge with a plunge pool! I really thought the water was gonna be warm and uncomfortable because it's so hot here, but it was cold!!
The view from our room was incredible. It's looking over the (dry for now) river bed and we can see lots of activity from our lanai
If you can't tell what this is, it's a double shower...
Resident dik dik feeding time...These guys are so cute!!
Here we go on our mini game drive and sundowner!!
Meet William our spotter, he can see stuff from a mile away! Unlike me, I can't see crap. I swear everytime there's an animal we gotta stop the car so they can explain to me what they're looking at, give me the binoculars and laugh and wait...sigh...
This is Daniel our driver/guide. He's a crackup!
I'll explain more about the animals later cause I forgot some of their names but for now, here's just the pics
Just some elephants.......!!!
This is the Grevy Zebra and some guinea fowl
Tomorrow's post is the REAL game drive...get ready for some really cool stuff!!

Thanks Izsmom, stay tuned....it gets exciting-er!!
Amazing shots! And I can't believe they have sharper eyes than you. You have the most eagle eyes of anybody I know.
Ummmmm, yah. I totally suck here. I told them I'd get fired if I was a spotter.
Ummmm, the jeep is open and animals can come in the jeep???? How are you protected from the more aggressive animals? Aaaaaaand there is no walls on your room? Hoooo this trip is not for me, LOL!
hahaha it was kinda scary at first but then you don't even realize it. Oh, and you gotta pray to the safari gods that the lions won't eat you.
Am totally enjoying your trip!
Thanks Aunty...so am I. It's almost surreal. This place is amazing.
