\"\"<\/a>So we rode, and we rode, and we rode. I\u2019ll stop talking for a bit and show you what we saw, in a single morning Game Drive, on the plains and hills of Africa.<\/p>\n

Look at the space \u2013 miles and miles of miles and miles. And air, and sky, and quiet.<\/p>\n

Look at the animals behaviors — herd-friendly, or loners? Who looks after the kids? How do they help each other?<\/p>\n

Look at the habitat they prefer \u2013 open spaces or good brush cover? Near water? Near shade? Near grass?<\/p>\n

Just look.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Zebra looking.<\/em> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Buffalo looking at us.<\/em>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cattle and herder looking for the best grass.<\/em>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rhino Mama and Baby looking for the next bite.\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Antelope looking for relief.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Elephant Mama and Family looking for the next stop.<\/em>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lion Mama guarding three cubs in their brushy nest looking napping-eye at us.<\/em>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Baboon gang looking, running, shrieking like baboons.<\/em>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And Warthogs! They stopped grunting long enough to look at us.<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s Tuesday morning on the Ol Pejeta, as seen from the 4×4!<\/strong><\/p>\n
