Two lions, that we passed on the bikes, twice!
Cycling safari...
...with proper mountain bikes
Elephants everywhere
Storm coming in
We visited the lions again...
...this time in a car...
...so we could go close.
Evening atmosphere in Borana
The lions went out for a potential hunt...
...and we watched them from the top of a hill.

Borana driving safari in the morning...
...seeing also male lions very close...
...on the same road we took with the bikes the day before.
Lots of elephants
Going out for the rhino tracking...
...trying to find the rhinos with the rangers
Came close to the rhinos...
...and the rangers checked their status.
Also on a large white rhino...
...which is called Gordon.
The third family of rhinos is close...
...with mum and baby...
...but also daddy was around.
Breakfast in the bush...
...and lunch at the lodge with a view
Elephant tusks and big guns. This is a war!
Michael introducing all the rhinos of Borana
Taking the Borana plane...
...to see the park from the air
The air was so clear, and we could see Mt Kenya
Tanya was very excited
Large planes of Borana...
...and some nearby camps...
...and villages...
...which are also supported by Borana.
Endless land...
...with planes and mountains
Mount Kenya, again!
Also lots of farming around Mt. Kenya
