It stole her biscuits. She cried out. We all laughed. The Baboon ate biscuits.
Today was the last day of the Safari. After a tired start at 5:30 we got going in our vans out to the Taita Hills Game Reserve to see the animals. It started with some Giraffes running, then some Buffalo's at a watering hole. Our drivers then drove us up to Lion Rock, a lion hang out for the kings of the jungle. After an all clear, we hopped out the vans and had a wander around taking photos and singing the 'Lion King' songs. The incredible views were astonishing to see and it touched everybody. We then left and drove around the planes, spotting more amazing animals like Antelopes, Giraffes and Jackels.
Hungry, we went back to the hotel to have breakfast. At the hotel, there is a watering hole, which is constantly surrounded by many different types of animals. This morning, we spotted some zebra's, antelope's elephants and ostriches. Then the funny moment of the day happened (see above). We then left the reserve and headed to the Maasai village, where we were welcomed with some traditional Maasai dancing. We had a tour of the village, and tried a hand at creating some FIRE! Afterwards, we returned to the hotel all tired out, so hung round by the pool for some chillax (sorry Wubba!).

Hi Jack T, sorry we haven't blogged for the past few days. Couldn't view after day nine for a while and we were travelling home yesterday. The pictures from the children's home are very emotional! How did you all find the experience? The photos on safari look fantastic, in each and everyone of the photos you all have broad grins. So proud of you all, all that you are doing and all that you have achieved. Enjoy and make the most of the last few days of probably one of the most memorable experiences in your lives. Thank the teachers from us for giving you this wonderful experience and for being surrogate parents over the past few weeks. Can't wait to see you all and hear all about it. Luv you loads. M & D xxx

Hi Snowy
ReplyDeleteWe are amazed you got up so early, is this training for Lutterworth or will normal sleeping resume when you're home. Looks like the Safari was amazing. We might need your fire making skills when we go camping. Hope you enjoy the rest of the time you have in Kenya. We can't wait to see you on Saturday. Safe journey home.
Love you Mum Dad and Lucy xxx :) <3
Hi Jake
ReplyDeleteWow. Terrific stuff.
I expect you'll be packing up and saying your goodbyes shortly ready to come home... it'll be so sad to leave all your new friends behind... but we can't wait to see you.
Make sure you leave any loose Kenyan change behind with someone as it's not easy to change at home and give us a ring from the airport when you can.
Take care and safe journey home. Mum xx
