2006 E. Africa Safari - Day 3 (Samburu N.P.)

Trip Notes: Our two game drives today provided an excellent inroduction to the semi-arid Samburu landscape and its inhabitants. Long necked Gerenuk, Oryx and a martial eagle with a kill provided the most entertainment. We decided to visit a local Samburu village and tracked some Elephants along the way. The locals were friendly but obviously gave us the hard sell once we arrived. We were invited inside the home of an elder to look around. We also arrived during a circumcision ceremony so the village was full of Samburu from the whole region.
