The experience was something else; there, the door was a zip and to cover toilet and bathing place there were curtains, we ate the delicious lunch made there and got ready for the safari. In evening we left for our safari and sat in our open terrace van. First we saw bison and then zebras and giraffes. Then we went to the chimps zoo.
Chapter 4- chimp’s zoo
In chimp’s zoo we met an uncle who was our guide he said that chimpanzees and gorillas are our ancestors because they are apes, everybody asked what’s the difference between monkeys and apes then I said that apes don’t have tails and monkeys have, then everybody clapped for me, after that we went to see chimpanzees we saw a 37 years old chimp called Poco and then we saw another 14 years old chimp called Julia when my aunt was taking a picture of her she threw a stick at her, then we saw a 34 year old chimp called Socrate who was very cute. Then we left that place. After that we saw a majestic lion, sleeping lioness and a single tusker at the same spot, after that we were headed to see the rhinos. We reached to see the rhinos, our guide James uncle took us to see the blind rhino Baraka. We fed that rhino grass and left that place and went to see the equator there it was freezing cold, we returned to our hotel ate dinner and slept.
Chapter 5- in Naivasha
We left our hotel very soon because we had to leave for Naivasha so we left, on the way we saw giraffe and zebras. We saw a crashed chopper and police’s helicopter too, the police were looking for the bodies of the dead people who died in the crash and fell in the lake Nakuru. We saw a slow tortoise there. In lake Nakuru there were pelicansand flamingos. Then we reached our hotel Naivasha country club, jumped on the trampoline and settled down. In evening we went to a boat safari too see ferocious hippos. We saw many of them one was yawning and the mouth was so big and teeth were very sharp. Then it became chilly. We saw a python and then returned to our hotel.

We left this hotel and were going to Masai Mara, it is named after Masai tribe and Mara river. We saw wilder beasts, ostrich, gazelles and antelopes on our way, we even saw sheep and leopard and played ‘Antakshri’. We reached our hotel Keekorok lodge. In the evening we went to safari and saw a lion and a lioness, a football field was within 500m and people were playing.
We saw wilder beasts and gazelles. After that we saw zebras and antelopes, then we saw cheetahs and lion twins who I called Scar and Mufasa. Then the safari ended. In dinner we saw masai tribe’s dance and then slept.
Next day we went for a full day safari and saw wilder beasts and zebras. We saw a pride of lions and cubs fighting, then we left that place and saw many giraffes. After that we saw bisons. A safari van got stuck in the slush, we got out of our van and helped them cross over. We saw cheetahs again and went to the border of Kenya and Tanzania, then we ate lunch on grass sitting on a mat, with elephants about 100m away from us. We also saw hyenas. Then we checked all the trees to see a leopard and found one sleeping. We returned and were troubled by the hippo grunts. We again saw masai tribe dance and slept.
Next day we went on early morning safari and saw lion eating its kill and saw lion protecting the kill from hyenas, storks and vultures. We went to Masai village. There, many people had many wives and every man had killed a lion, they lit fire without matchstick and their chief was 100 years old. In breakfast they drank fresh milk from cow and fresh blood from cow vein. Then we went to our hotel, ate dinner, packed our bag and slept.
