Kenya - Lake Navusha / East Africa Mission Orphanage

This morning we were up reasonably early and off for a game drive through Lake Nakuru National Park. The scenery in this park was different to the previous game parks and quite picturesque. The Lake was beautiful especially from the panoramic view point, but also up close because of the large numbers of Flamingoes which were feeding in it.
The other animals we saw included the usual Zebra, Buffalo, Baboon’s, Impala, Gazelle’s, but also included our first White Rhino’s and some Colobus Monkeys. Unfortunately we didn’t see a Leopard which was our guides 3rd trip without seeing a Leopard out of the hundreds of trips to this park.
We returned from the game drive after lunch to coincide with the children finishing school. We firstly went down to visit the babies/ infants (who were asleep last night) and played with them for quite some time. The older kids came down to where we were and games of soccer and rugby soon took hold. We had given them a few balls to play with and Jack had tried teaching some kids how to juggle which was a great hit. We both also taught some of our new friends how to pass a rugby ball properly.
All in all we had a fabulous afternoon which we had to bring to an end so the carers could get the kids to the bath and then dinner.
