~ Our long day of two game drives at an end, we were ready to return to the Samburu Sopa Lodge, as the final day of the safari awaited us on the morrow. One final sighting awaited us — a group of vultures in the dry bed of the Ewaso Nyiro River, feeding on morsels attached to the remains of a lion kill. First one, then another vulture ate from a skull, their mutual antipathy self-evident from the photographs. We were near enough to them that the low light of early evening didn't impact the image quality. The vulture's actions and plumage were yet another high point in a day full of wonders.
