First full day in kenya

---

Brilliant day! Started with getting a wake up call from reception asking is there anything I wanted to do today quickly got ready and ran down booked to do elephant orphanage & giraffe sanctuary. Met a couple of girls in reception Sarah & Sarah who were doing the same tour as me who were also doing the trips.
Elephant orphanage was great baby elephants from 9 month old, most of them were saved when there parents had been killed by poachers we watched them being bottle fed milk they were all very lively & playful. Older elephant then came out again all had different stories as to how they had come to be there.
At the giraffe sanctuary we were given little pellets of food and were allowed to feed them, very gracious animals.
Back at the hotel we sat round pool & had a few beers, gradually other people joined us who were also on various tours with intrepid travel. I also met my room mate a lady from Switzerland who has been touring for 2 months. After the welcome meeting a few of us went to a restaurant called carnivore where we were served a large selection on meat, beef, chicken, pork, lamb, rabbit, crocodile I drew the line at ostrich, back to hotel to sleep early start tomorrow!!!!!! Safari begins.
