~ The Samburu Sopa Lodge waterhole is situated a short distance from and below the dining-room's open-air view. Throughout the day and into the evening birds and mammals visit what is one of the very few upland area water resources. When we arrived for lunch an impala herd arrived at the waterhole, first one then the entire group. The male had especially impressive horns. He watched while the herd quenched their thirst, then wandered off followed by the others. One young impala was seemingly more interested in the looming presence of the lodge, with its lunchtime clamor, than in availing itself of the waterhole's bounty.
