~ The Samburu and Buffalo Springs area supports a healthy impala population. Typically spotted in the tall shrubbery around the Ewaso Nyiro River, the impala are seemingly habituated to passing safari vehicles as they seldom exhibit any outward signs of anxiety. This small impala herd was under the watchful care of a single male, who kept an eye on us. We noticed how deliberately they made their way though the grass — never rushing yet steadily moving. The impala are so much an integral part of the Samburu ecosystem. When I see them I feel happy!
