Well, now with the publication of the Samburu video, I’m caught up on the African locations. Samburu National Park lies in Northern Kenya. It's home to some rare species that are quite difficult to fine elsewhere. You can see the beautiful Grevy's Zebra is good numbers. They are larger than the Common Zebra and have much finer black pinstripes that are gorgeous. You can also see Reticulated Giraffe at Samburu, in my opinion, the most attractive Giraffe species. There are lots of Antelope species including the uncommon Gerenuk that looks like a cross between an Impala and a Giraffe and the Oryx with it's majestic long straight horns. The park's scenery is also stunning with tall surrounding hills, steep canyons and the Ewaso Ng'iro river running through it. The river is actually to border to Buffalo Springs National Park, and you can crisscross back and forth between the two. Most of this video was filmed in Samburu, but at least 25% is from Buffalo Springs. All three big cat species are present in the park and there are lots of Elephants with a unique red coloration caused by dusting themselves in the reddish soil.
You can view the video in the “Wildlife” tab of this website, or directly on my Vimeo channel at: www.vimeo.com/fishtales/samburu
