We arrived at the Abijata-Shalla National Park around 4ish, but by then there was already a dust storm blowing in. So after struggling to get our tent up in the blowing wind and dust, we hung out in the truck, playing cards, until dinner was ready. It was a good thing, neither of us was on cook duty, as it was a pretty tough night to be cooking, with dust blowing everywhere, and getting into everything.

We camped at the view point, where we could see the two lakes, one of which was a soda lake. Mike, the trip leader was hoping that the from the view point we would be able to see all the flamingos, since due to the violence at Lake Nakuru, Kenya the trip was no longer going there. Sadly though the flamingos were pretty far away, and so we were out of luck. Oh well, next time.
