This weekend we went camping in the maasai steppe with our friends, Robin and Thad. It’s always fun to head out with the long timers who know the best spots and the funnest short-cuts (and who allow car roof-riding).
We spotted a few lions on the way down (thanks to our eagle-eyed Ashy for spotting the lion in the tree)
Lunch stop included watching the elephant parade. So many little babies.
We went for walks by herds of waterbuck and stopped often to check out the animal tracks.
Tree rubbed smooth by the elephants
Finding this cool fella was a rare treat (Pan-Hinged Terrapin??). Notice how his head doesn’t pull straight back and instead turns to the side? I’d never seen that before.
Nighttime included some much needed rain, lions grunting, elephant rumbles, hyenas calling, and pounding hooves (waterbuck?) which then was followed by some great camp-style coffee in the morning.
Breakfast around the fire
Beautiful fire lily in a landscape of brown.

Do you ever feel like someone just wants to stop in and say hi and let you know that they are there?
The giraffe were curious while we stopped for our tea and hot chocolate break on the way home.
Of course….
Happy kids
