Unfortunately I start the latest update of the past 3/4 days while Andy is currently horizontal under our vehicle! This morning we had an issue with our Land Rover whereby the anti roll bar mount, part of the chassis severed during our morning drive, we are just hoping that we can continue on as we are only half way through...
We are a bit behind of blogging given our days have been spent out in the field most of the day for the last 3/4 days! As we write this post we are now in a different section of the Mara so time for a quick update on our few days in the Mara Triangle (MT) before we moved to...

We have now arrived back in Nairobi after a pretty horrendous drive back. Which unfortunately included us being stopped by the police twice and witnessing a horrendous incident in which a young girl was knocked down by a vehicle trying to cross a busy highway, really tragic. So as Andy has the arduous task of cleaning out the Land Rover...
Still catching up on the last few days the next instalment comes from our last morning on the 'Narok side' on the 21st October and was certainly an action packed one. Quite apt given this is our 100th post in our blog! In fact the excitement started the evening prior when we had the who pride literally right opposite the...
