When I ask my children what they enjoyed most on our Kenyan safari they talk over each other in their excitement. “Jumping off that rock, holding a chameleon, seeing the new-born dik-dik, finding the leopard footprints, searching for scorpions, feeding the baby goshawk…”
Eventually one of them mentions the moment they saw elephants for the first time. I remind them that we also saw lions, hippos and herds of giraffe. We even spotted a genet on a night safari. Apparently that was all great, but not great enough to make it onto the list of their top ten favourite moments.
