Jambo from Samburu
Another day at Samburu lodge started with an early morning game drive at 6:00 am. We are served coffee or tea with our wake up call, not bad for roughing it!! Our breakfast is taken with us in the vehicles since we leave so early. We try to get the early morning light and eat when the action slows.
On todays safari we saw our first Cape Buffalo, they always seem to look pissed and I think they are, Grevy's Zebra's, Gerinuk (which are small antelope) plus many more elephants. I also got to see my first Lilac Breasted Roller a very beautiful bird.
We made a visit to a Samburu native village, I have included a picture it's me in the hat, to see how the villagers live and also to buy stuff. The villagers performed dances and the Samburu warriors did there native dances. The huts they live in are, basically in the middle of the flat land surrounded by stick fences to keep the wild animals out, made out of sticks with cow dung, yes poop, for insulation on the walls with thatch roofs and dirt floors, however, they do sleep on cow hide for a mattress. Wow comfee!!
That is all for now
