~ Encountering a giraffe early on a morning game drive is a positive omen! One doesn't climb into the safari van with hopes for a giraffe sighting, but welcomes the favorable portent should it occur. After the brief sighting of a male gerenuk, we were in a cheerful mood, with the pleasant morning temperatures enhancing the feeling that our final day would be special. A reticulated giraffe was beside the track in an area where we'd never previously spotted giraffe. It walked along with a sprightly gait, on its way to whichever acacias looked especially delectable.
