a tour of nairobi

The driver picked us up at 9:30 am and our first stop was the giraffe minor. We got to feed them and even kiss them! We would put a piece of their food in between our lips and the giraffe would come up to our face and lick the food out of our mouths!

The second stop was a elephant orphanage. They had about 20 elephants total. Ten of them are up to 2 years old. We watched them play in the mud and drink water while the employees explained the orphanage to them. The next 10 were up to 5 years old and had more fun splashing us with the mud!

Next was a crocodile farm. We got to hold baby crocs and turtles! There we ate a delicious buffet meal.

After lunch, we went to a zoo with lots of lions. There were also monkeys just hanging around. We took photos will the monkeys grooming themselves.

After the Nairobi city overlook, we went to city park and fed monkeys peanuts. They climbed on our laps and shoulders! Got some great photos.

We were done for the day after a quick stop to the mall to get  SIM cards and some food.

We stayed at a hostel called the shalom house for new years eve. Many volunteers were staying there and we had a great time getting to know them on this festive holiday.

Happy 2014!!
