Meru, great to return!

Meru was looking stunning before the rains, still dry but in great shape!  Showers had put down the dust a little before we flew into the Park and on our first evening we were delighted to see a male cheetah.  He was totally unconcerned by us, walking around and marking his territory.
The next morning we set out early to find a very large herd of buffalo.  As they smelt us they stampeded putting up dust and cattle egrets.
In the cool of the Rogerewo Rriver a pod of Hippo watched us keeping a wary eye on the human visitors.
Our camp was up in the shade of some tall 'yellow fever' trees where we were surrounded by troops of baboon, more buffalo and elephant.  It is always great to return to Meru National Park!
