Videos - Stakerk, Kenya, Aug. 2006, Part 1

Dear Fodorite Friends:

The following is the link some have seen before to photos taken by my wife and children:

However, I hauled around a camcorder everywhere we went. I don't think you would want to see the entire 9 hours of tape I recorded. Hence, the following are links on videoegg to some scenes (average about 2 minutes each) I have clumsily edited:

Asante Sana for all your help,


Kevin from California

P.S. Trip report soon. I wanted to work on posting the photos and video first.

Um, aren't you walking pretty close to that crocodile infested river?

Great view of the leopard!

Thanks for sharing these! How long was your walking safari? Was this done in lieu of a game drive? Is it easy to arrange this upon arrival at Larsens?

Patty:

The game walk was in Samburu out of Larsen's. Was in addition to game drives. We departed after breakfast, about 10 am, and returned about noon. Was only $10 per person, a fantastic bargain for such an adventure. I am normally pretty brave, but was getting concerned because the giraffe were getting so close.

Do giraffes attack? I know they can kick a lion to death but didn't think they'd attack.

Favorite? Oh, it has to be the mama cheetah and cubs.

I do love the giraffes watching you all on your walk too.

Thanks, Kevin!
