Another day gone! Today we realised that there is only one more week of our holiday remaining. Anne flies out on Tuesday next week and Mum, Dad, Jette and I leave next Friday. Our days have been so full that we are absolutely exhausted at night and therefore time has flown by! There is no doubt that the rest of our time in Africa will go too fast as well. This morning we were ready for a day in Nairobi National Park, with Hassan as our guide again. Nairobi National Park is a fenced off 12 000 square kilometres next to the city that holds wild animals. We had heard from some locals that this park was nice but a lot like a zoo, in the sense that the animals were definitely there but you just had to find them on the land. Even Hassan mentioned that it's a great place, if you don't want to drive distances to go to areas such as Masai Mara. We arrived at about 10am and not even 20 minutes into trying to find animals from the car, Jette spotted a group of about 6 Rhinos! They were far away but we could still see them with the binoculars. There was a baby Rhino but I could have sworn it was a Warthog. They were so big and it was great seeing them. We have now officially seen the Big 5! We also saw a male Lion sitting on a rock. There were no other Lions that we could see but it was amazing to see such a feared wild animal just laying there. Just like in other areas of Kenya, there were a huge number of Gazelles, Antelopes, Buffalos and Waterbucks wandering around. The birds were also very unique. There was one called the crowned crane and it was so funky! Seeing Ostriches close up was also great. They're such big birds! We drove to an area that was called the 'Hippo Pools' and got really excited about the fact that we were about to see some Hippos and Crocodiles again. A wildlife ranger led us down a track along the river to look at the animals. There was nothing in the river. He said that the Hippos had migrated and he had seen a big Croc this morning but it must have left. We thought it was strange that he didn't tell us this before we embarked on the walk but just kept following further down the creek anyway. We didn't see anything except for vegetation and creek water until there was a bridge. And then we saw the small Masai market on the other side. This had all been a trap. We told him we had bought enough Masai stuff lately and turned around to go back and have lunch. In the afternoon we drove around the park and spotted more wildlife until about 3 and then we left to go back to the resort. On the way, Hassan said we were going to get something to drink, so we stopped at a little place along the road. When we got out of the car I thought to myself, this is a strange place to have a drink. It was like a huge area with tourists and a hut. We had to pay an entrance fee (?!) and at this stage I was very, very confused. Then Jette and I followed Mum and Dad in and turns out we were in a Giraffe Orphanage! We got to feed them and Jette even got a smooch from one. It was really great to see the graceful animals up close! It was a beautiful day and tomorrow is going to be great as well! We are leaving at 7am for a day trip to Magadi Lake. Can't wait!
