Kungu maitu
Es geht wieder los - zurück in die Wildnis! Am Morgen treffe ich auf ein kleines Wollknäuel, mit dem ich ein ausgiebiges Frühstück bei Kaffee (für mich) und Milchbrei (für es) verbringe, während wir auf den Landcruiser warten, der uns nach Nanyuki bringen wird. Es ist wieder Africa time, aber nach 2h Verspätung machen wir uns dann auf den Weg. Die Karre ist der Knaller! Ein riesen Panzerschiff, mit dem man den Kilimandscharo wahrscheinlich nicht nur vorne hoch sondern hinten ...

Once he got tired of us watching he slowly walked away into the bush. On this drive we decided to take the lion ...
Oh the cheetah
... rhino. Driving in the dark is thrilling! I love standing with my head out the top of the jeep feeling the very chilly wind on my face looking for glowing eyes. We repeated the process of wildlife tracking, sundowner drink and dinner. We had a wonderful traditional Kenyan dinner! During the sundowner andrew and I talked about the lion population and their living habits on the conservancy. A few facts about the camp that I love are ...
