Is the lion really king?

Another great day ahead. Today we were asked to be ready to leave at 615. No worries. Dixon said he had a surprise for us.

First up for my bird friends, we saw a vulture on the left and two storks on the right. It is an African white back vulture and two Malibu storks.

Then we saw another incredible moment.

Nate has renamed the two ladies we picked up at the mosque who have been with us as clicker 1 and clicker 2. They both have cameras courtesy of the camp and all we hear is click click click of them taking pictures. We had to promise massages at the camp to get the ladies to finally agree to leave the lions and cubs.

Then we saw a herd of water buffalo.

My new number one animal is the zebra. Princess likes the baby lions. A came across this fellow in a herd we saw. I think you may see this picture in our home soon.

It was now 930 and Dixon said we were going to stop for coffee and a breakfast. The crew showed up and treated us to breakfast in the bush!

I thought I would share a picture of the Kenya freeway system in the bush country.

When we arrived back at camp here was a crok waiting for us.

Then we went back out for an evening game drive.

First for my bird friends this is a white bellied bustard.

Then we saw a topi. It is also called blue jeans because of the markings on its legs.

We came across a herd of elephants. They were within ten feet of the jeep. Here are a few pics.

After saying good by to the elephants we found more lions. As we have learned the alpha female is in charge. Here is a small collection of what we saw up close and personal.

By the way the answer to the question how many stripes does a zebra have is two. A black one and a white one.

After the lions it was back to our camp. There was a fire and pizza and Pinot.

Then we went to one of their intimate dinner locations for an incredible dinner. Here is our group shot for dinner.

Here is the lamb the Princess had.

I had a burger and fries. I would recommend it if you stay.

The one thing I remember was how cold it was. I thought Africa was to be hot. Thank god princess bought me a puffy jacket. Here is how I ride.

By the way, one of my anniversary gifts from the Princess was a bracelet for my collection.

What a day. Tonight’s dream is the lion is not king. It is the lioness. Just like at the Boulders. Here is what the Queen of the jungle looks like.

Here is the king male.

That’s it for tonight folks.
