Nairobi National Park

I woke up at 6.00, so I found it quite annoying when they started to run around between the rooms with a cowbell to wake us up. Entering the dining hall to get a banana for breakfast I realized the bell was probably a good idea because half of the students were still fast asleep. Second ring with the bell and of we went in three busses at 7.00.

When we got to the park we realized that this is gone be just as everywhere else in Kenya. You see, here everyone believes in the saying “Hakuna Matata” = No worries… Means no worries for the rest of your days, it’s a problem free philosophy, Hakuna Matata (Lion king for those who didn’t get that). Everything here takes a year, to buy a pack of gum at Nakomat, to sign in at the gym or to get into a park. Efficiency is not their policy so just relax, this for me, as a stressed Swede is a hard thing to learn. After an hour they let us start our drive into the park.

First animals we saw were giraffes, lovely, tall, amazing creatures. A bit like me I must say, you can see them at any distance sticking up behind the threes, like me in a crowd. Antelopes, impalas, vultures, zebras and a lion witch had just finished a yummy zebra dinner were other things we saw on our safari so I’m pleased.
