Happy birthday pa'.....

Lions were roaring close to camp at 545 am while I was having rooibos.
We went down towards w7 and instead of driving east as planned we drove west looking for the lions. Nothing visible around so we turned the car and headed toward the planned route.
We had god elephants sightings and just before the tortilis forest spotted a big male lion dozing under a small acacia.

I was very happy for my guests as this was the first male lion of their entire safari. My self I loved a couple of good birds sightings, Hildebrandt francolin and black faced sand grouse.






















Around 11 am we were close to camp when a guide from hilltop told us about a ale lion in mbagi area, we went to see just to find a beautiful male just 100 mtrs farther then the point we stopped to turn the car in the morning…….
So 2 big male lions in the basket.
Another good thing to see was a pair of lovely little green dung beetles.



Then the drive up to makutano from the north side was long and boring, almost no game, so we went back to the mbagi lion that did not even bothered to stand once.



The gift of the day was a spotted eagle owl just out of camp.
