We spent the day today visiting a chimpanzee sanctuary and learning more about the conservation efforts in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. We had fun with chimps, and saw lots of animals today, including two very sleepy lions! We woke up quite early, in time for the sunrise, and had quite a good view of Mount Kenya.

Knowing you Lori good thing you had brave Susan to remove the spider. The photos of the chimps look like they were posing for you. You two are having a great time on Safari. Way to go!

Northern White Rhinos
Wow, I'm so amazed you were able to see Nanjin and Fatu. I recently watched a documentary on the plight of the Northern White Rhinos. How lovely you were able to see them, but how sad the story is.

Northern White Rhinos
It was such a privilege to see these last two northern white rhinos, and yes, it is so very sad. I'm so hoping their efforts at a surrogate pregnancy are successful.
