Oct 14, 2012 - Nakuru, Kenya
Yesterday we met the two new girls and they are a great addition to our trip. One will be with us for a week and the other for 2 weeks. It rained all evening, but it made for good sleep.
We woke with morning at 5am and had a quick breakfast. Our safari guide picked the 5 of us up at 6am and we drove to Lake Nakuru National Park. The entry fee was 80 USD and 2,000 Kenya Shillings (approx $24). We drove through the park for about 7 hours and we saw just about all the animails you could want to see. We saw gazelle, impalas, black rhinos, white rhinos, monkeys, babboons, hippos, 7 lions, jackels, buffalo, water bucks, giraffes, pelicans, marabu cranes, crowned cranes, flamingos, zebras, hyrax, warthogs, and lots of birds. It was so amazing seeing all these animasl running around in the wild and worth every penny. Some of the animals would let the vehicle super close. We also stopped at a scenic outlook up on a cliff that looked over a large section of the park and almost the whole lake.
After the park we stopped and got groceries to make chili (its been a chilly day) and its simmering on the fire and it smells delicious AND its starting to sprinkle again. Its been a fantastic day!!!!
Miss you family and friends! Hugs!
What I learned:
Lake Naruku has the only 3 horned giraffes.
