~ Having watched the two lionesses on the opposite bank of the Ewaso Nyiro River, it was gripping to watch several types of herd animals very near them. The oryx, impala and Grant's gazelle we observed were in very close proximity to the lionesses, presumably without being aware of the predators. Samburu is relatively compact, yet so much occurs within its precincts. The cycle of life visible anywhere on safari seems to be especially concentrated in Samburu, where docile herds live cheek by jowl with an active predator population.
