~ While Samburu National Reserve is home to numerous Oryx beisa, Beisa Oryx, Meru National Park also has them. We'd been driving for less than half an hour when this solitary oryx appeared beside the track. As oryx are wont to do, it walked with a plodding gait, passing several Yellow-necked Spurfowl resting in shade. When it briefly looked towards the safari van, I pressed the shutter, wanting to preserve the memory of observing such an improbable organism. Oryx are a favorite of mine — I photograph them whenever possible.
