Baboons!

IMG_8802A few weeks ago, four volunteers took the children to a Park near Shai Hills ...  to a wildlife reserve where they could see some animals. We rented a tro-tro and most of the children (except the babies) went on the excursion.  The first to greet us .... the baboons.

After we fed the baboons some bread, we drove through the flat land and saw some antelopes.

It was difficult to see the antelope herds in the distance but a few of them came very close.  Two males fought 50m from us.  You could hear their horns crack together!

We also went into the “bat cave”.  These were once inhabited by the Shai tribe.

The hike was challenging.  There was a strong smell in the cave. After the hike, we enjoyed some awesome sandwiches with groundnut paste and bananas.
