As always, Antony was on the ball, checking with his fellow guides and friends there to find a great sighting before e even arrived at our lodge for lunch!  He and 1 other guide got permission from a range to offroad to a recent lion kill! 

Here are the leftovers,  a cape Buffalo skeleton

And the very full and satisfied dinner companions,  resting under a nearby tree in the heart of the day.

Our lodge there, the Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge,  was spectacular, with expansive views of the Lake

And more Spectacular views at sunrise

After lunch, and our usual afternoon rest, we went out for another game drive

As we left the lodge this morning, we hurried to a spot where 2 black rhinos were spotted, but the scene was even more spectacular than we imagined.

The panorama, to small to see the groups of animals,  so here they are left to right.

A large “tower” of Rothchilds giraffe, over 20

What an amazing sight … without moving the safari vehicle we could watch all these animals.  

As we left the park on our way to Lake Naivasha, we stopped at Lake Nakuru for the flamingo flock, some herons and plovers.

And we found these spectacular birds
