Day Eleven

It was amazing, the day started at 5:00am. NOT GOOD. We rushed up to breakfast all willing to be up at that time! LOL jk, everyone was very tired and could hardly eat their food properly. After we had finished we took hired safari mini buses to the safari hotel. We went straight into the animal business and were soon spotting animals! We saw on the way to the hotel elephants, gazelles, antelopes and monkeys. we got to the hotel and had a drink went to the rooms its a really nice, big hotel with very friendly staff. After that we went down to dinner and went straight back into safari. We then saw Elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Baboons, Jackals, Warthogs, Antelopes, Zebras, Gazelles and some pretty coloured birds that we cannot remember the name of. :-)

Near the end of it we saw a herd of elephants of all ages cross the road just in front of us. It was indescribable and unimaginable. We finished the safari at 6:50 but the time we were meant to be finished was 6:00 :O. Thats because we waited for the awesome elephants to cross :D.
BY THE WAY, there was a FROG in the BOG called bogfrog so yeah, k BYE :)!

  10. Extraordinary pictures...it could almost be Twycross! You really are experiencing the most amazing contrasts in Kenya - looking at the village on Day Ten makes you realise the things we take for granted and as for the safari - wow!
    Emily S..nice to see the photo of you practising your 'dad-dancing' routine. Oh, and don't be sooo rude to your mum and sister in your blogs. Dad

    Hi, Callum. 5am start - what's that to you? You're used to Grandad dragging you out of bed at that time to go fishing! Photos are brilliant - hope you have lots more to show us when you get back. KK's driving your Mum and Dad mad - she says she's missing you but I think she just misses having you to torment. Miss you loads. Keep taking the pills. Lots of love. G & G xx
