Tourist Time







Our choice for Alpha Male

 In our last day in Nairobi, we decided to play tourist for a few hours. On the agenda: The Giraffe Orphan Sanctuary and the Elephant Orphan Sanctuary. We arrived early at the giraffe sanctuary in hopes of seeing the giraffes fed. However, we just missed feeding time so the giraffe were not in petting range. They were only 50-75 feet away so our pictures came out pretty well. Enjoy!

Next stop was the elephant sanctuary just up the road. The elephants are scheduled to eat between 11-12 so everyone knows when to be there. We arrived on time! First up the young elephants Age 6 months to 1 1/2 yrs.
They were very playful kicking mud on their audience.

Next up were the older elephants ages 2 yrs to 3 1/2 yrs. After that age they are taken to some of the animal game parks located around Kenya and Tanzania.

All the kids enjoyed the visit.

Especially Julia!

On the way out we visited with the resident Rhino. He is kept there due to his age and the fact he is blind. He would never survive in the wild.  :-(

Tomorrow we leave for orientation in Muchakos. We will post as best we can, but we are not aware of the internet capabilities.  Luv ya!
