Another early start. We were still on a high, having already seen so much of what we hoped we would see. What was left?  Marcell had still not shown us a rhino !!" - (some people are SO hard to please !!) so our early-morning drive brought much anticipation, and the hope that we would bag one before leaving the Mara. Marcell  proved merely human after all - and we drew a blank ! No complaints though - and we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this wonderful place. We did, however, see numerous birds, (only a few of which I could readily identify) lots of zebra, impala and

buffalo - and a warthog seen here (above)  with a crowned crane. Giraffe were also abundant as we made our way back to Lake Naivasha. Another long drive, but on this occasion,  made in a single hop in the Land Cruisers. Had a stop for refreshment on the way back, and on return to our camp we ended the afternoon  with a stroll along the lakeside. After dinner that evening, Debs, David, Bev and Steve joined us for a dram of Talisker single malt - which brought a very pleasant end to the day - a day that had a sense of quiet following the excitement of The Mara.  Yet another early start was planned for the following morning -  with a 6am reveille.
