I went on another game drive this morning (I could really get use to this!) and saw a heavily pregnant cheetah stalking a Thompson’s Gazelle. Unfortunately for her it managed to get away.

There was not enough room for us so we went with the Donnelly’s and another family from Hemingway’s for lunch at a nice place in Malindi with amazing pizzas! Not wanting to do as the airline suggested and go to Mombasa, we chartered a caravan for some of us and Garry Cullen f...
