Road Trip to Lake Naivasha

Last weekend, Sonia, Kazungu, Laz and I made a road trip to Lake Naivasha and passed through the Great Rift Valley.  It was definitely one of my favorite days so far in Kenya and it was great to spend it with such good friends.

First stop:  The Great Rift Valley overlook.  I couldn't get Circle of Life out of my head.

Me, K & Laz.  No problems.

The view at the Rift Valley was amazing.  From there we took a winding road down into the valley and headed to Naivasha.  Much singing and rapping ensued.

At the lake we took a boat ride around and visited some hippos.  Hippos are shy.  Confirmed:  hippos are my favorite animals.

The boat then took us to Crescent Island, where Out of Africa was filmed.  I guess they left some giraffes and such behind after filming and they made a home there.  This is a strange place where you can walk around and chill with wild animals and have a picnic while wildebeest watch you.  It is also very, very cool.

This giraffe just strolled past me like it was the most normal thing in the world.

Laz then lost a foot race to Our Friend the Giraffe.

I love Kenya and don't want to leave in a month.  The End.
