Our first full week!

Jon and I have been having a great time this week.  Since we last wrote we have seen countless amounts of animals and met some great people.  First we visited a giraffe center that was working to rehabilitate the Rothschild giraffe.  There were six female giraffes and one male - lucky man.   There are currently only 300 Rothschild giraffes left in the wild and there numbers reached as low as 120 at one point.  Also at the center were warthogs, leopard tortoises and many bird species.  There is a small area to walk through, however, we were not allowed to walk through it because three days prior a lion from Mount Kenya National park had traveled south into the area of the walk.  The guard told us it had to be closed because they didn't know were the lion was at this point.  So instead we walked around the boundary of the reserve.  It was very nice.  From there we walked to catch a matatu and headed back to our hostel.  We have also seen hippos at lake Naivasha, baboons, giraffes, african water buffaloes, zebras, impalas, and tons of birds at Hells Gate National Park.  The animals are spectacular and we are looking forward to seeing many more!
