This was a wonderful safari
including Samburu, Treetops, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara.
Though it was primarily a game viewing trip, our driver was a bird expert
and, without binoculars, was able to identify species at great distances.
The holiday was marred by the fact that our rooms were burgled at the famous
Treetops hotel (allegedly the first burglary ever committed there!) and
we then had to survive a few days with minimal possessions and clothes.
We returned to the fancy hotel in Nairobi with our few remaining items in
carrier bags and drew some funny looks from hotel guests and staff! Having
lost my electric razor, I went to a barber in the city and subjected myself
to a shave with a cut-throat razor - the only one of my life. This number
of birds is the largest seen on any of our holidays.
