We bump our way through Nairobi National Park as the sun sinks behind the acacias, painting a golden wash over the distinctive greens and ochres of the African bush.
It’s my last day of a week-long trip to Kenya, during which four of the country’s fantastic five have stood up to be counted: elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard (yes, I’m including the fleeting view of a tail as it vanished into the night: I definitely saw spots…). I’ve been lucky, and as I head back to camp for my last sundowner, I’m happily resigned to leave the last biggie — the elusive rhino — for next time.
