You will also see hippos inside the water while others may be basking on the banks. They will be making their loud noises and yawning while they bop their heads in and out of the water. You may also see an occasional crocodile in this waters.

You will also get a chance to see a lazy lion pride resting under a tree or a lone female stalking impalas along the road. Sometimes they will use the cover of your game drive vehicle to approach their prey before pouncing.

If luck is on your side, you may stumble on a lone cheetah male on a fresh kill and take some amazing close up photos. Around the bend, you will come face to face with a herd of 50 buffalos and they all stop to feed and stare you down. All 100 sets of eyes on you without twitching a muscle. The calves are put inside the circular formation, followed by the females and at the perimeter, the large bulls look outwards for trouble.

A lone old giraffe male straddles the road and won’t give an inch. The stubborn giraffe will force you to drive around him as he stands smack in the middle of the game drive track. But atleast you get to take some of the closest-up pictures with the giraffe standing 4 feet away from your vehicle pop up roof hatch.

0900hrs: At nine, go for a visit to the Mbagathi River for a small walking safari. The Nairobi walking trip along the river winds around the river bank in thick brush and acacia forest. Here, you have to get an armed escort or 2 to make sure you are safe. This is an area frequented by lions, giraffes and buffalos.
