The Story So Far... Days 5 and 6 - Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th July

Saturday 28th
Saturday morning we were all up bright an early to pack up camp and load up the bus for our long haul road trip towards lion hill in Nakuru, before we checked into our hotel we got the tickets for tomorrows safari as the entrance next to our hotel didn't sell the tickets.

At the hotel we put up the kenyan kids tents and then a few of us went down to the onsite club room and danced to african rap music with the kenyan kids and played a few games of pool before going to bed.

Sunday 29th
Hello mummies and daddies, today we had to wake up earlier than ever before!!! it was 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the 'Nakuru National Park'. It was a good thing that the entrance to the park was right next door to 'lion hill hotel' which was were we stayed overnight so it was not a long distance at all. When we got in side we immediately saw some water buck and some pretty cool crested quail.

A little while after that we came across a single spotted hyena which was very good because they are nocturnal animals so it was quite a surprise. We also saw a very endangered species of black rhino and there are only 2300 left in the wild. We later on saw many zebra, Thompson's gazelle, cape buffalo baboons, impala and other species of monkeys all of which were pretty amazing.

After the safari we went on a extremely long road trip in the bus, it was between 7-8 hours to Kisii and the safe house, the scenery was stunning. We had a very well earned dinner at Nyakoe hotel then bed.
