The two full days at Saruni Eagle View were wonderful. Because it was so small, our meals offered two options and were served at the table, rather than the lavish buffets we had before. Again, the waiters and other staff were outstanding. Because the Conservancy is owned by the Maasai, many of the employees were members of that tribe.
We continued to have morning and evening drives and saw many more animals. This area did not have as many zebras as we'd seen before in the thousands, but there was plenty of wildlife to enjoy.

We saw these three giraffes standing together. The lions also saw them and began stalking. They were able to cut one off from the others and the giraffe, sensing the danger, began to run. We saw the lions chasing her and saw her fall down but get up again (not easy when you have such long legs). They all disappeared into the bushes so we didn't see the kill. But our driver knew where to go and we sat for a long time watching the lions feast. It was horrible (giraffes are my favorites) but also fascinating. We saw the "law of the jungle" in action.
Later we learned that the giraffe had been pregnant; some of the other watchers saw the evidence.
