Today my aunt was not feeling well, so I decided to go to the Nairobi National Park which is a game park. My driver Joseph picked me up, and we headed on our way to the park. We got on the topic of how Uganda and Kenya are so different, and he agreed. Joseph said that Kenya used to be just like Uganda is now, ten years ago. We got to the park and immediately saw antelopes and zebras. We were driving and driving and driving just searching for animals, searching for the big 5. The big 5 is the 5 animals that you want to see on safari. Water buffaloes, lions, rhinos, leopard, and elephants. Sadly there are no elephants in this game park. Leopards are extremely shy, and no one sees them so we didn’t see leopards and no one saw any lions today, so those were off the list too. So we saw 2/5 of the big 5, but that was still incredible. Seeing animals in their pure element and natural environment is something else entirely.
It was mind-blowing seeing 20 antelopes together and a group of 10 zebras and 8 giraffes. All bunched together, I have never seen anything like it. We saw warthogs, ostriches, gazelles, water buffalos, antelopes, zebras, giraffes, and zebras, a turtle, and many many birds.
Hours for the day: 6
Hours in total: 77.5
Until tomorrow,

These photos are simply amazing. I love the photo of the zebras - like twins against the African sky. Such immense beauty!!!
