We are up early this morning so
that we can go on a game drive as the sun is rising. We have a light
breakfast and then pack up and are off before 7 AM. We have a very
nice game drive and see a wide range of animals, including elan, buffalo,
reticulated giraffe, rhino, wart hogs, flamingos, pelicans, a jackal that
had some catch in its mouth, gazelle, impala, eight female lions lounging
under a tree and a southern ground hornbill.

Shortly before 10 AM, we headed
up to Baboon Cliff Lookout, which is on top of a cliff with a great view of
the lake and the park. We are going to have brunch up here.
While they are preparing brunch, we have an opportunity to walk along the
cliff edge and to take in the excellent views.
|
|
We can even see the formations
that the pink flamingos make in the soda lake.
|
|
We have an excellent brunch -
eggs, toast, cheese, beans, sausages, fried tomatoes, and pineapple.
Once we have finished brunch, we pack up and head out of the park, driving
along the lake. After we leave the park we stop for a short time in
Nakuru to do some food shopping. We just wander the streets and look
at the crafts for sale. We head on shortly after 1 PM and head towards Lake
Naivasha.

|
We make a stop on the way at
Elsemere, the lake front home of George and Joy Adamson of "Born
Free" fame. We arrived at 3 PM and we had an opportunity to visit
the museum. After a quick look there, we watched a video on Joy
Adamson's life - it was quite interesting. And then, we had tea on the
lawn over looking the lake. They put on a great spread and we stuffed
ourselves with some excellent snacks. At the end, we of course, had to
do some shopping in the gift shop. We headed on at 5 PM.

After a very short ride down the
road, we arrive at Fish Eagle Inn, where we will spend the next two
nights. After setting up the campsite and having a shower, we take it
easy before dinner with a drink and a couple of games of pool. For
dinner we have a great meal of steaks and mash. After dinner, it is
back to the pool table, for a few more games.
