14th - Samburu NP

Today was spent on game driving in the national park. We left the lodge in the early morning at 0730, came back around 1200 for lunch and relaxation, went out again at 1600 with a final return around 3 hours later. Dinner and readying to leave for Lake Naivasha at 0700 tomorrow morning.

So despite the itinerary saying it would be a full day worth of game drive it fails to mention the 4 hour break we had in the middle of the day back at the lodge.

There was obviously stuff to see on the drives but the density of the wildlife doesn’t seem as high as I had hoped. Most of the sightings today were of animals we already had seen yesterday, but today we managed to see the 5 lion cubs we were chasing yesterday while still being parked on the road. That’s at least an improvement. And there are plenty of elephants and giraffes.
