Went to my first game park today. My knees are scorched. Spent the whole day, roof off, sitting on top of Pauls SUV cruising the park, photoing game, and just relaxing.
First thing we did when we got there was buy tickets to get into the park. That was our first sighting of animals. Just a few feet away there was a monkey running all over someones car. All the people were inside and it just sat there. They tried to scare it off by turning on the windshield wipers and it just stood there resting its hands on their windshield when they werent moving.
After that we made our way into the park. Even though there hadn't been much rain the place was beautiful. Much more green and lush than the camp. Almost as soon as we entered the park there was a herd of about one hundred buffalo. Not even 30 feet off the road next to us was a lone hyena. I yelled at it, it looked up and i got some decent shots. Went a bit farther and closer to Lake Nakuru and saw a whole horde of flamingo, pelican, and various other water fowl. Also spotted some various antelope, gazelles, waterbucks, and a rhino.
Took another route and headed up a huge cliff to a humongous over look. It looked over most of the park and especially the lake area. It was breathtaking looking down and seeing animals and seeing the great vastness and beauty of the area from above.
Made our way into the bush. It was beautiful lots of animals lots of beautiful scenery. Even spotted a lions leg. Unfortunately couldn't even get a full shot of the beast. Only the leg and the belly of the the 2nd lion.
Looking forward to going to ambiselli on monday .
Those first shots that i'm uploading are of the semi active volcano longonot.
