With High season in Kenya and comes some high end game spotting!
The Mugie sanctuary is green and lush and the game is making the most of it.
Just to mention a few, we have spent the days watching lions hunting
and munching, bat eared foxes on the prowl, porcupines as they scurried
toward their holes at dusk, cheetahs prowling, and for me, probably the
most exciting of all – a giraffe having her baby!
It was a case of being in the right place at the right time. And
especially lucky for our car full of guests that got to see it as well!
The mother was obviously struggling with the birth as she had the calf
only about half way delivered for the whole time we watched her. She was
trying not to hold up her herd so kept with them when they moved
forward. Not wanting to further disturb her, we decided to leave them
and come back at another time. When we found her the next morning she
had successfully delivered the male giraffe, and managed to stay with
her herd. We have checked on them regularly and when last seen, he was
healthy and rambunctious. which was great to see.
We have been making the most of our new sundowner spot too. With a
bomb fire surrounded by panoramic views, G&T in hand what a great
way to finish a day on an African safari.
