Monday 23rd March
Drove to Loisaba today to visit Jim & Lori
, the owners
. Loisaba is a wilderness reserve of 63000 acres and on a good day, you could see all of the big 5.
www.loisaba.com Today, however was a social visit & we were staying the night
with them at their home, although we did see a young elephant wander
through their back garden.
The drive
over took two hours, the road has deteriorated since the last time I
drove on it so it was a bumpy and rocky ride for most of the 75 kms. If
you have excel on your computer and would care to read the directions,
it makes interesting reading. Just click on the link below and then
select 'Directions from Nanyuki' It's worth it just for a laugh!
We also had to cross a river but unlike a few months
ago, it was now just a dry bed. There is a serious water shortage
developing in this region and everyone is hoping that the anticipated
rains will arrive in April. We had a wonderful, social afternoon and
evening, having lunch by the pool with views across the plains, as far
as the eye can see.
We the drove to a beautiful spot for sundowners, in Jim's 2 Yamaha Rhinos, the perfect little runaround for the Loisaba bush,
not to mention the great fun of driving them. And, you can drink & drive in the bush, just don't fall out of the Rhino.
They can go just about anywhere you're brave enough
to attempt. After sun downers, we returned to Loisaba & had
dinner at their house.
