Our backyard: Nairobi National Park

I've shared photos from our quick trips to Nairobi National Park twice before (1 here & 2 here), but just had to share these from our two recent fast overnights -- Saturday afternoon game drive, camping, then Sunday morning game drive.

Had to start with the iconic Nairobi skyline shots:

Now playing around with multi-subject shots a bit:

So cute to see a mother lion with 5 cubs!

This watering hole was a popular spot on Saturday!

Setting up and enjoying camp!

One of the caretakers at the campground tries to keep us warm, but not toooo warm! 

Spoonbill

The closer the better for now. :-)

Ostrich family!  We counted 12 babies!

This duck seems oblivious to the group hanging out behind him...

And some photos from a trip late in 2016 to the same park:

Fish Eagle

Sun was hiding, but the animals weren't

Took a morning drive through Nairobi National Park today, and while the light was flat, still took a couple good snaps!

I've shared a few photos before from Nairobi National Park, and I have a feeling I'll do it again!  Just so great to have such a resource so close to / inside the city!

Uhh.. I'm not good with birds. These are ... ducks?

Guinea fowl never gets old to watch!

Amazing blue humming-type bird!

A chompin' impala

Masai Giraffe spotted here and there (terrible, I know!)

Couple beatiful bush plants were blooming:

Why did the zebra cross the road?

... to catch up with all the other zebras, perhaps?

Vervet monkeys here and there

Lioness in a tree, keeping wary watch of the tourists!

While her buddy chomps down on the kill below!

Getting' all the good stuff from the bones!

And yet looking so clean at the same time!

(I really would have loved some good sunlight today!)

Beautiful tree climbing!
