Nairobi Safari Park



Here we watched as a zebra was moving toward the watering hole. A lion came out of the tall grass and pounced toward the zebra but the zebra had a little extra adrenaline and propelled forward out of the grasp of the lion. It was a near miss.





We worked hard every day we were there but we did have a morning off. We went to the Nairobi Safari Park for a drive through photo safari. I did not know what to expect, hearing that the last time a group of people I knew went through this park they did not see many animals. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! We saw so many zebras, cape buffalo, giraffes, gnus and other deer-type animals that I could not count. We also saw a 7 meter long python crossing the road, a fresh kill with many buzzards and vultures eating away, a white rhino, a black rhino and 11 lions - two of which were walking down the road in front of our vehicle. We saw ostrich adults and babies as well as warthogs. What a sight! It was a great day!
