This is lion king country.
The plains below are infinite and the sky an endless blue at Lentorre, a sultry hideout in the Nguruman Escarpment, forming the western wall of the Rift Valley.
The five-hour drive from Nairobi at sunrise has us at the foot of the famed trona-treasured Lake Magadi gate to gape at the massive flocks of Lesser flamingos feeding in ankle-deep water. It’s hot, but the pretty pink birds aren’t bothered by the heat as is the Maasai boy in red shuka watching over his goats.
