Nairobi

Nairobi, Kenya



So, we are now on our way back to Nairobi from Masai, and we had this photo stop, to take in the rift valley!





Our visit in Kenya wouldn't feel like "Out of Africa" if we didn't stop by Karen Blixen's house! The house has been turned into a museum and after the movie was filmed, they left the furniture used for it. They have a painting of Karen Blixen there, and of Meryl Streep and Robert Redford! I still can't imagine, how Karen must have felt while she was there. In the middle of Africa, before world war 1... Oh, and yeah, I still haven't seen the movie, but I heard it's good. The book, I highly recommend if you're setting foot in that neck of the woods! =)





Of course, our travels for the day wouldn't be complete without any animal sightings. As we were walking out of the museum towards the garden, where Karen used to have a view of the Ngong hills (There's a lot of trees now blocking the view), we saw some rock hyrax! Aren't they cute?




Our next stop, was the giraffe center! These are Rothschild giraffes! Notice their white socks. (No more spots below the knee). We have now seen 3 types of giraffes!




Aren't their eyes just adorable? One of my tripmates placed the food between his lips and the giraffe went for it! hahaha!




Here's one last look at the cutie giraffes! One of them was pregnant and was about to go into labor! We were kinda hoping we could see it give birth, but, oh well, they told us maybe in a day or two. =D




Alas, everything must come to an end. Here's our ride, out of Kenya. Kenya is such a beautiful country! That was quite an experience!

It was funny, to get on the plane, some people were able to ride the tram but we didn't all fit. So, I was sort of at the back of the line... Guess what, they made us walk on the tarmac towards the plane!!! All my other tripmates were laughing at us who had to walk on the tarmac! That was a hoot and a half!
