Nakuru is far smaller and not as crazy as Nairobi. Soon we met up with John as we hooked through hospitality club, and very soon we were already sitting in his brother's car on a way to Nakuru national park. Not expected, as Masai Mara the only planned tour we dipped in. But here we go - they say the lake was famous for flamingos, which funnily enough at this time went home to Tanzania and come here only for honeymoon.
But we made up with rhino, family of hyenas, tons of pelicans and photogenic baboons. One of them was sitting in "I am dreaming now" position, and when we came closer to take a photo, he turned the head in a style "I am beautiful and dreaming now".
The evening was relaxed as we went to play couple games of pool together. Ended up taking a hostel - apparently for security reasons. If you bring home mzungu - Joni explained - especially if you live in certain areas, you turn yourself into target.
