Field Trip to Lake Nakuru

Today all the kids, the matrons, Wombugu, and the volunteers loaded up in a couple of Nissans and headed to Lake Nakuru for a field trip.  We had a great time!  We spotted flamingos, rhinos, gazelles, zebras, buffaloes, and even some lions (which were definitely the kids’ favorite).

My favorite part of the day was when we drove to a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the lake, called “Baboon Cliff.”  True to its name, it was inhabited by a group of very unafraid baboons that terrified Rahab and stole food from tourists.  One of the baboons jumped into a tourist’s car!

A special thank you to Auntie Bettina and Auntie Marie for making the day possible.  It was really special for the kids, and I am so glad they were able to see some of the wildlife their country is famous for.
