You are here: Home / Weekend / Day 6: Safari

March 20, 2009

Day 6: Safari

We departed the tea estate for a long drive back to Nairobi with an exciting detour into Nakuru National Park where we cruised through the savannah (did someone say Savannah bars!?) on safari.

IMG_3467 (640x480)

Lunch was packed in a sack:

 IMG_3456 (640x480)

Here’s what I found inside

:mrgreen: this !

A beef samosa

IMG_3457 (640x480) 

A chicken leg (Kanz, too bad you weren’t here to gnaw on my leftovers!)

IMG_3460 (640x480)

Two “tomahto” and cheese grilled sandwiches (I ate 1.5)

IMG_3489 (640x480)

Passion fruit – another kind. It’s just like pom but more jelly like

IMG_3494 (640x480) 

OJ (shared half with Vanessa) 

IMG_3463 (640x480)

A banana, which I saved for later.

  IMG_3458 (640x480)

The Sightings: Hakuna Matata

IMG_3475 (640x480) IMG_3476 (640x480)IMG_3480 (640x480) IMG_3481 (640x480) IMG_3487 (640x480)IMG_3497 (640x480)

Rhinos!!!

IMG_3499 (640x480)IMG_3501 (640x480)

Zebra says GUH

IMG_3495 (640x480)

It’s so dry here there are dust tornados popping up everywhere. They were quite impressive and large

IMG_3493 (640x480)

SO GLAD I brought this hat!

IMG_3484 (640x480)

IMG_3477 (640x480)

Top of the cliff

IMG_3509 (640x480) IMG_3504 (640x480) IMG_3508 (640x480) IMG_3512 (640x480)

Highrats – they were so cute! (Correction: hyrax!! Of course they look like rats so I assumed… Didn’t have google available when I typed this up 🙂 )

IMG_3514 (640x480) IMG_3479 (640x480)

IMG_3515 (640x480)

It was so hot!! And we’re covered in dust. But it was totally worth it.

    Kath, the pastry like thing is called a SAMOSA not a samsoa. It is of south Asian origin and is pretty easy to look up if you want a confirmation. But it is called a SAMOSA. Just thought you should know ;D

    But I don’t think I could find any creature with “rat” in its name cute! Too many bad memories from NYC subways 😉

    You had some good sightings in Nakuru! (I’ve been there as well.) 🙂

    And the previous commenter is right, they are called hyrax, not any kind of rat. They are actually the closest living relative to the elephant… believe it or not!
