Mid-term break for all the kids meant that we went on our first trip outside Nairobi.
We booked ourselves in for a 3 day safari.
Day #1 was Nairobi - Nakuru & tour round Lake Nakuru National Park...
We stopped on the way down into the Rift Valley & had a quick look at some of the curio shops there.
We got back in the car & got to the bottom of the valley & wasn't long before there were zebras on the roadside!
We got to our hotel in Nakuru, had lunch & then got back in the van for our trip to Lake Nakuru National Park.
Here are some of the photos that Tim & I took...
There were both Grant's & Thomson's gizelles.
Colobus monkeys...
Marabou.
Hippos with a pelican coming in overhead!
This is part of the lake from one of the high lookouts. The lake is full of flamingos, pelicans & lots of other bird life & hippos.
We saw an amazing lizard at the lookout.
Reticulated giraffe.
Baboon.
Zebra & black rhino.
We saw a family of 4 black rhinos!
Hyena.
We saw a lone lioness eating a zebra & felt lucky that we had finally seen a lion.
We drove further down the road & came across a pride of lions in which there was at least 20+ lions in it!
Buffalo & zebra.
Our tour guide Jumah, Zane & Zoe at one of the higher up lookouts.
Waterfall with lots of water as there had been quite a bit of rain before & during our safari!
Some of the lions in the pride we saw.
We saw so many animals. Including ones that weren't in our photos collection: waterbuck, flamingos, jackals etc. Saw most things except no elephants as they are not in that national park.
