Northern KENYA - Lake Baringo; Shaba National Park and onto Ethiopia border.
Kenya (pics from left to right - top to bottom) – Our camp at Roberts Camp at Lake Baringo, Kenya – a delightful camp and one we were at 23 years ago; crossing the equator.
Northern Kenya (pics from left to right ) – After leaving Nairobi we headed north, thru Nanyuki , climbing above 8,000' and
into rolling plains of wheat – with a few Thompson Gazelles grazing in the fields; We rejoined Helen & Neil at the Shaba National Reserve (a section of Samburu National Park) and picked up our ‘guards' Golo and Abdirashid who spent the night guarding us and camp; we are heading into the raining season and the Brown River through the park was flowing well.
Northern Kenya (pics from left to right - top to bottom) – Viv looking at the Brown River (aptly named); there are some different animals within this desert region, such as the beautiful reticulated giraffe, Beisia Oryx and long necked Gerenuk – all superbly adapted to the desert country; saw a few small herds of elephant; our camp, with our guards under the tree; the lodge within the park – we stopped for a drink – didn't stay!!
Northern Kenya (pics from left to right) – headed further north, now traveling in remote, dry desert country; Ron & Neil looking at the radiator and deciding how to fix it; Ron getting the ‘hole' ready to fill – the liquid ‘steel' worked a treat – to date!!; passed a very large crater on the side of the road after leaving Marsabit .
Donkeys carry water to and from the wells to the village; a group of camels being herded out to graze (we saw lots and lots of camels and goats); the local ‘taxi' from the Ethiopia border into Kenya – goods/supplies in the bottom of the truck, passengers on top!!
Northern Kenya (pics from left to right) – When we could, we took some pics of the people walking along the side of the road - such as these local lads; and this family group – the kids really liked the popcorn Viv had made up; an old guy with his camel heading who knows where! .
