KENYA

We visited Kenya in August 1996 when, along with six other naturalists, we joined a Naturetrek trip led by Mick Rebane. Pollmans provided the safari vehicles and our drivers, John and Kibwana, were good spotters. We also had good local guides at Baringo and Sokoke. Our three week itinerary was:
