Holidays 2009 in East Africa

It was a great first holiday season spent in Africa. My uncle came to visit from the UAE. We spent a few days exploring Nairobi and went on safari to Maasai Mara (famous for the massive wildebeest migration) and Lake Nakuru. My friend Heidi's dad came from Brazil. My friend Anand's brother came from London. And Heidi and Anand's friend Helen came from Scotland. Here are some of my favorite pics from safari and Christmas!




This is a safari pile up! When there's news of an interesting animal sighting (this was a lion sleeping on it's back in the tall grass with only one paw visible) the vans and Land Rovers flock to get the photo.


Me and Uncle Kirk at a waterfall in Maasai Mara.


It was a lovely being able to walk behind the waterfall but this little grotto was filled with the sickeningly sweet stench of baboon poo.





Lake Nakuru National Park








Carrots! I have never seen such a sight of orange.
