Travelin' Fullers Blog: Infrared photos from Night drive and breakfast in the bush !

We had a wonderful dinner last evening and were surprised by a dance with junior Masai warriors. I couldn't get a good enough action shot in the dark conditions last night to show how high these guys can jump! Any NBA team would be proud! It's tough to get a shot in total darkness during the night game drive. They can only use infrared and no flash so you don't blind the animals and make them vulnerable to predators. I did manage to get a couple.... I missed the Jackals though that were out hunting!

This morning we were up and off with Seki for our morning game drive! We saw elephants, Oreck, Gazelles, Goat herds belonging to the Masai, Gerenuk, (long necked antelope), zebras and Wildebeest. After being out for a while, our tummies were thinking of coming back for breakfast, when low and behold, on the plains in front so us we drove into a beautiful camp site that had been set up for us for breakfast!! We had delicious fresh fruit, granola and yogurt, homemade cinnamon rolls and fried eggs on top of toast! Yum!!! It was such a fun, wonderful surprise!!!

Grant slept up on the outside start bed again last night and loves it! He snuggles down with two very warm blankets. I, on the other hand, am very content to stay in the very soft bed warmed with hot water bottles!!! Another game drive this afternoon. The fires continue to smolder but they are far from the camp now. All 65 guys were out fighting the fire the day before yesterday and their efforts worked! They turned the fire back by beating it down with branches.

There are baboons in the area and we have to be careful because they come up to the lodge. We had a footprint of one by our plunge pool. We are the only rooms with doors. The other rooms just have a curtain. It's a very quiet day today at the camp. We've all commented on how great we are sleeping! No one wakes up at night! We are sleeping soundly all the way through!!!

Today is our last day at this camp so we are savoring every moment!
