10/12/12 Archer's Post. Day 70

Yet another boneshaker until, at 16.35, we crossed the Merille (????) river on to a beautiful, beautiful, tarmac road - I suspect you could hear the cheering back in the UK. Not a pothole in sight for the next 150km - how different from home. Saw our first ostrich running alongside the road and then two elephants half into the bush.

We camped for the night in a tribal village at the entrance to the Samburu National Game Reserve, in amongst their huts and behind the acacia "blockade" to keep the cattle and goats safe from hyenas etc. The natives cooked dinner for us, as we sat around a blazing campfire, followed by some really good singing and dancing and then one of the tribe gave us a talk about their lifestyle and answered questions. A really great evening.
