Crescent Island, Hell's Gate & Mount Longonot...

During our family Christmas holiday, we visited three favourite spots around Lake Naivasha: Crescent Island, Hell's Gate National Park and Mount Longonot. It seems we're making the rounds of our favourite Kenyan spots so we can enjoy them one last time, especially in the company of our wonderful kids!

On safari in Samburu...

We were so excited to take the girls and Jon to Samburu this Christmas, and we had a wonderful time at Elephant Bedroom tented camp. The animals were plentiful and the scenery was beautiful; the company was even better.

Cats, cats, cats...

While on safari with the whole family at Christmas, we were treated to sightings of many cats in Samburu. In fact, we saw a leopard on every game drive, which is incredibly rare. We were even lucky enough to see a mama cheetah with 2 adolescent cubs with a fresh kill (gerenuk). The gerenuk made a hearty lunch for all three cheetahs.
