7/7
Regal, impressive, majestic, stark – there are so many words to describe the savanna and the animals therein.
We woke early, at 5:20 AM, for a 5:45 breakfast. Then we started our morning game drive at 6:30. Mount Kilimanjaro was unfortunately clouded in. But, we saw group after group of elephants. At one point a large family crossed the road right in front of us and a little baby got distracted. So it’s mom had to give him a little shove forward with her trunk.
Sunday driving means less traffic, so we made good time to Nairobi. There we said a quick goodbye to our Safaris Squad and jumped back in the van to head to Lake Naivasha.
This morning I took a lot of catch and release pictures that I call shoot and delete. I have so many pictures of elephants and zebras. And between the four of us there’s always someone who says they’ve got a great shot of whichever animal is in front of us.
We stopped for lunch at the restaurant we had stopped at so many times before. The logistics of this tour are such that we have crisscrossed our path going back and forth across this part of the country.
We arrived at Lake Naivasha, home to the hippos and lots of birds, to learn that the cost was really pricey. So, we actually made her an offer. She accepted it. Either way, it was very pleasant being out on the lake about an hour before sunset. The hippos, though not plentiful, looked so sweet even though they are the most dangerous animal in Africa. We saw a couple frolicking together, then one gave us a big yawn for the scrapbook.
Back at our hotel we enjoyed Wi-Fi, showers, dinner and hopefully a good night's rest. Tomorrow we have a hike in Hells gate, the setting for the Lion King.
