Here are a few of  my favorite safari photos from Ol Pejeta...

Jon and Cathy in Dave's truck...

A one-tusker ellie with a bad leg...

African fish eagle...

Unidentified wild creature checking to be sure no one is watching before setting up his trail camera...I think that might be against the rules....

Hartebeests...

Crowned crane adult with a young one...

Ol Pejeta is home to two of the world's last remaining northern white rhinos.  

Not only are they fenced in a 700-acre enclosure for protection, they have their own personal 24/7 bodyguards armed with rifles and the orders concerning possible poachers:  "Shoot first, ask questions later."

Just outside the rhino area, is this acacia tree cemetery for rhinos...

You may remember a lot of media coverage when Sudan, the last male northern white rhinoceros, died in 2018.  He was living here at Ol Pejeta...here is his grave...

Tombstones for the Ol Pejeta rhinos that have died...

Ol Pejeta is also home to over 100 endangered black rhinos, of which we saw several during our stay.

Although several live on the conservancy, we didn't see many big cats.  This lioness was hanging out just outside the rhino enclosure fence with a group of 7 different-aged cubs.

You can see she's wearing a tracking collar...

...and is easily identifiable by her bobbed tail.  Wonder how that happened?  Maybe a run-in with a crocodile back when she was just a lass?

This cub was reluctant to follow the group...

...and Mama is giving him the stink-eye...

Racing a jackal down the road...

Crowned crane family...

Baby rhino...

...and momma wasn't far away!

Bill and Shirley, with Dave and Ethan...

Late afternoon storm clouds brewing over the savannah...as it turned out, we only encountered a few sprinkles.

White-bellied bustard...

Big male giraffe...you'd be amazed how giraffes can hide, even as big as they are!

You can see how tall and long-legged those secretary birds are!  

More crowned cranes...they are big too!

The other set of lions we saw...

Helmeted guineafowl...

Another unidentified wild creature stealthily retrieving the trail cam a couple of days later. Unfortunately, nothing too exciting on it this time.

Tawny eagle...

Jackal family...there were four pups scattered around this den...

This is not a deformed cape buffalo...this is actually 2 of them side by side...

Crowned eagle on sentry...

Baboons in the acacias...

We saw lots and lots of pundamilia...Swahili for "donkey with stripes...

This old girl looks pretty ragged around the edges...

Even Flat Stanley (with his friend Shirley) enjoyed our wildlife viewing at...

...Ol Pejeta Conservancy.
