NAKURU PARK, really a RHINO SANCTUARY. There are many RHINO here. WHITE & BLACK! They are a bit boring, they pretty much just hang around. They are so used to the trucks. But, if you get out of your truck near them. YOUR DEAD MEAT!! You have some tree climing LIONS here. That was a first for me. The BABOONS were busting the LION'S chops!! No way the LIONS will get them up there! It was funny, the BABOONS were peeing on them, and throwing sticks!! What a treat!! My second snake!! A PUFF-ADER!! Beautiful snake. The first snake, also a PUFF-ADER was in TSAVO-WEST. Love these snakes. But don't get BIT!!!!! You also, have what everyone knows. All of the FLAMINGOS!! Maybe 1,000,000 of them at certain times! There are many other birds here as well. I think I have here in this pic, YELLOW-BILLED STORKS. When we pulled into camp. I knew right away, I wanted to stay 3 nights!! It is so pretty here. With all the : YELLOW BARK ACACIA TREES!! Worth a visit. It's just too bad it's small. No ELEPHANTS, couldn't hold them. Only about 12 or 15 LIONS here. But again, worth a visit! |
|  | "ALL SPOILED" MANY MANY BABOONS here. I think about 8 or 9 thousand is what they said. If you visit, watch out!! The RANGERS have to come to the camps and chase them off with blanks in the guns!! Yes I have a story or two about the BABOONS here! This guy, next to the road. He just sat there didn't care. But he let me take his pic!! |
|  | LIGHT AS A FEATHER! Only a couple of places you can get out of your truck. On top of the hill above the lake. At the lake as long as your gude says it's safe! It's nice to see this stuff at ground-level. With the earth under your feet!! That was the only thing I missed here. Unlike ZIMBABWE, your not supposed to get out of your truck! But beautiful none-the-less! |
