Day 8 (Sat, 15 July) - Nakuru

Nice hot sunny morning as we headed out to the Lake Nakuru game reserve.

Quite a large park dominated by the lake and surrounded by quite high escarpments.

Saw about a million flamingo's, a white rhino in the distance, the usual assortment of antelopes and buffalo. However, the highlight was spotting a LEOPARD.

Sarb spotted the leopard as we drove past and he is very smug about it! It was laying in the grass about 25 metres away and when we stopped in the van it looked very cautious. It then got up and keeping a firm eye on us walked behind the van, across the road and vanished into the bush! Amazing sight.

Drove to the top of an escarpment and drank in the amazing view of the park. Had lunch there and then Joshua drove us into Nakuru town centre to get extra provisions.

Got back to hotel and relaxed.

Sarb missed dinner as not feeling too well. Late at night not feeling well turned into really not feeling well. Jo got the driver up and we all trooped off to the hospital. Turned out Sarb had dysentry (a posh word for a common disorder) and was given a bag full of pills for 1500 shillings.

By the time we got back to the hotel we were all knackered and slept the remaining few hours of the night.
