So, I’ve been a bit busy looking at animals and learning about Ol Pejeta Conservancy. When we arrived at Ol Pejeta from Nairobi , I was hoping to see a few of the animals I had been reading about since I was a kid. Ol Pejeta did not disappoint! We were staying at a tented camp in the middle of the conservancy called Sweetwaters. After a lovely lunch we were shown to our tents. I was asked by staff if our tents would be too far away & I assured them it would not be. That was an awesome choice! We were right next to a place where animals of all kinds gathered.
On our walk to our tents, we saw our first wild rhinoceros. Our first! Then, after putting our bags in our (glamping doesn’t even explain it) tents, we looked out to see a herd of cape buffalo right on the other side of a ditch outside our tents. The ditch did have electrified wires, but… As we watched the cape buffalo along with many beautiful birds, here came a herd of impala. Asyou do, I started taking pictures of the animals. A few pictures in, I noticed there was a zebra in the background of my impala picture. That, of course, is when I looked up to see the whole herd of zebra just behind the impalas in the trees. And, of course, a watering hole on the Kenyan savanna would not be complete without the warthog.
Of course, I am not forgetting all the beautiful birds. From the superb starling (Murphy’s favorite) to the Egyptian goose and the Guinea fowl, there were so many amazing birds. And all this was before we ever went out into the preserve on a game drive.
On that note, I will share some pictures of this amazing first day.
So Much Adventuring
