Onto Lewa Downs by car from Meru; an interesting drive with a much better understanding of rural Africa! Lewa has already had good rains, it was lovely and green with lots of wildlife. With the rain comes our 'African spring' with birds courting each other and nest building. The male Lilac breasted roller brought a gift of a grasshopper to his mate before they settled on the top of their favourite perch above their nest hole.
There were many elephant on Lewa with Mount Kenya in the background it was a beautiful sight to see!
This young female showed us how big she is to stop us from getting closer to her!
The two young cubs who were orphaned last October have been hunting for themselves despite being too young to be very experience in hunting. So far they have been successful, earning our respect and admiration.
We found a white rhino with her calf down by the river drinking among herds of zebra, elephant, waterbuck and warthog.
