Kenya

Sorry no pictures, the internet connection is not working that well.

Well we crossed the border into Kenya and I must say that the Ethiopia / Kenyan border is one of the most efficient I have been through. My first few days in Kenya however were not all that great. Due to the states of the roads, very heavily corrugated mud roads, even though on some days we were traveling for over 12 hours, we were only traveling a couple of hundred kilometres. By the time we finally reached tarmac, Franco our driver got out of the cab and kissed the road!. In total we did 4 bush camps before reaching anywhere. Thats 4 days without washing and spending 12 hours a day cooped up on the back of a bouncing truck. It was certainly an experience. We have now made it through the worst part of the entire trip, so it should be plain sailing from now on.
I'm currently in the Kenyan city of Nakuru. Yesterday I went on my first ever game drive. It was amazing. I saw so many animals, I managed to see 3 of the big 5. There were white and black rhino's, hippo's, buffaloes (they look like they are wearing judges wigs)water bucks, Thomson Gazelles, Impalas, hyena's, monkeys, baboons, zebras, giraffes and 7 lions! The lions were so close to the road - it was fantastic. The drive was through Lake Nakuru National Park, the only thing I did not see was Leopards but they are so elusive, the wardens only see them once a month. I have yet to see elephants but they should be in Southern Kenya.
We are now driving en route to Uganda. We will be coming back to Kenya but first we will be visiting Uganda, Rwanda and the mountain gorillas.
