Yes, it is hard to top seeing a cheetah stretch and a lion roar. I do have to say that adding breakfast out on the open savanna while watching a wildebeest herd play and Maasai cattle pass by definitely was a good follow-up.
We woke up at 5:40 to coffee & hot cocoa being brought to our tent. By 6:15 am, we were in the safari vehicle & seeing animals. We saw a bull elephant, a tiny dikdik (the smallest of the antelope), and a secretary bird. We saw the tawny eagle and a yellow-beaked stork, too.
After breakfast with the wildebeest, we saw some elan, mongooses, more warthogs, a crocodile, and many hippo heads in the water! We also found a lone bull Cape buffalo, more topi, and some hartebeest with babies. All this before heading back to camp for lunch.
Even taking a break at camp, we continue to see animals. We found a cute little bat in the media tent, and dwarfed mongooses running about the camp.
During our evening drive we found 4 female lionesses and an adolescent male, about a year and a half old. The lions started stalking a warthog but gave up after it began raining hard. We put down the cover on the side of the vehicle toward the rain & had our sundowner drinks in the truck, while watching the lions. A hippo and a beautiful sunset were visible on our drive back.
A hot bucket shower, yummy supper, and a hot water bottle in our beds finished this beautiful second day at Porini Lion Camp.
So Much Adventuring
