~ The initial sighting of our first game drive in Samburu National Reserve was a solitary female Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata, Reticulated Giraffe. Her gorgeous coat was made the more lovely by the afternoon sunlight tones. With giraffes I'm hesitant to definitively say that they're alone or solitary, as so often there are, in fact, other giraffes in the vicinity. In Samburu giraffe groups tend to spread out a bit, remaining near to one another yet not overly close. In any case she was a beauty!
