When we first arrived in Kenya, we wasted no time in visiting the local Conservancy, Ol Pejeta which is a mere 15 minute drive away from where we live in Laikipia County.  We have since been back there on numerous occasions and every time we go, it remains unpredictably exciting.  The wild life is in...
