While on our first game drive in Samburu National Reserve, Kenya searching for elephants, we spotted a troop of giraffes. They were not bothered by our presence, and we enjoyed watching them munch on their acacia dinner. We were struck by their height and amazed by how they still managed to blend into the landscape. We captured a photograph of this reticulated giraffe that had separated itself from the group to eat in solitude.

The Samburu National Reserve, Kenya was a fantastic location for spotting wildlife. Despite the severe drought in the area, we were fortunate to find a wide assortment of wildlife including this D’Arnaud’s Barbet (below). We were able to capture this beauty thanks to our excellent driver and guide Ben who spotted it while we were looking in the opposite direction. We were surprised later to find that only a few of us from our group were lucky enough to see this colorful bird.
