We headed to Nakuru Game Park early this morning. Well really not too early but it felt like it because we were all still tired from the journey. It is good for the teams to see the magnificent beauty God has blessed Kenya with. Many of the girls had already expressed surprise over the beautiful trees (especially the acacia) and all of the gorgeous flowers. And they were really excited to see the giraffes, flamingos, cape buffalo, warthogs, zebras and rhino all roaming freely in the park with no fences or cages like the zoos at home. The biggest find of the day was a male lion resting in the shade of a tree right by the road. We were also fortunate to see a black rhino momma and child. They aren't seen often because they like to stay hidden in the bushes. The funniest moment of the day was at the gate while we were waiting to get our tickets. Some little vervet monkeys kept trying to get into our vans. The one was peeking down thru from the open top and scared Ally, Inger, Brooklyn, Cassie and Danae. Many of the people around were looking to see what all the screaming was about. Not long after that another monkey scurried over the top of Brittany, Hillary, Taylor and Kiersten's van. At one point it was right behind Kiersten looking thru the open sliding door. We were truly blessed to be able to go on an African Safari!
