We got to take a break yesterday, and went to the Solio Ranch Reserve. This is a breeding ground for most of the rhinos in Kenya's National Parks. Turned out to be a very lucky trip as we saw 4 of the Big 5 of Africa - rhino, lion, leopard and buffalo. We did not see elephants though. One often thinks of taking a safari in a big old Land Rover. Not us, though. How about a moderately used Corolla. Sure, sounds good. 4 Wheel Drive was probably necessary, but we made it, remarkably, without a flat. Here's some pics. Click on them to enlarge.
Buffalo and Mt. Kenya
Now, giraffe and Mt. Kenya.
We did disrupt his nap.
Black Rhino that was easily twice the size of our Corolla. Our driver had his foot hovering over the gas.
Siesta with flies.
This guy was huge. We had a zoom lens, but he was so close I couldn't fit him in the pic.
