A fabulous end to a great safari. We saw hippos walking back to the water after a night of grazing and a lioness and 4 10-month old Cubs at a distance. The highlight was seeing a mom and her two 6-week old Cubs up close. We saw her carry them. Then they passed by our car about 2 feet away.
It was special to me to end the trip with Olbramoti. He was the first male lion we saw here two years ago and his picture hung in my office, so I have seen him every day since. He is very handsome and he and his brother reign over the conservatory.
We are off to catch a flight from a grass air strip to Nairobi, then another flight to the coast and a boat to Lamu Island. There are no cars on the island. We are going to spend some time on a beach on the Indian Ocean and are hoping it is sunny and warm.
