25/12

After another splendid breakfast we left Serena and Nairobi for Lake Nakuru and Lake Nakuru Lodge.

On the way to Nakuru we drove by my school to leave all my presents so that I can enjoy them when my family leaves. After that we had two stops, one at the viewpoint over Rift Valley and one at Lake Naivasha where we got to see hippos and African fish eagles and walk among wild animals (these animals had been take from Masai Mara and then been left behind after some seans for Out of Africa was shot by Lake Naivasha and the animals had gotten too tame to be let back into Mara).

When we got to Nakuru I was a bit disappointed, the food was the same crappy Kenyan buffet as always and the hotel was quite crappy. Don’t think that I’m saying this because I’m a bit spoiled since I’ve been living a lot at nice hotels with my family it is just that I’ve lived at nicer hotels with school and Kenyan food really is boring. We at least got a nice game drive where we got to see lots of rhinos, flamingos (a first for me), pelicans, hyenas and some really stupid Indians dancing at a car roof near to an area where lions had been spotted.
