Migration chaos today! Long wait but worth it in the end. Day was topped off with a leopard and 2 male lions on the way back to camp!
The Call of Africa
“When you have acquired a taste for the dust,
and the scent of our first rain,
You’re hooked for life on Africa,
and you’ll not be right again.
Until you can watch the setting moon
and hear the jackals bark,
And know they are around you
waiting in the dark.
When you long to see the elephants
or hear the coucal’s song,
When the moonrise sets your blood on fire,
then you’ve been away too long.
It is time to cut the traces loose,
and let your heart go free,
Beyond that far horizon
where your spirit yearns to be.
Africa is waiting – come!
Since you have touched the open sky
And learned to love the rustling grass
and the wild fish eagle’s cry.
You’ll always hear the hunger for the bush;
for the lion’s rasping roar,
To camp at last beneath the stars
and to be at peace once more.”

One of my all time favorite views and hikes! The escarpment edge of Kenya’s southern Rift Valley, out of the stunning Lentorre Lodge! Each time I’ve done this hike, we come across leopard tracks on the trail.
On safari with @simonbelcher safaris!
