Hello everyone. For this blog, we start out in Nairobi, where we met our guide, David, who was with us for the 10 days. For dinner on the first night, we went to meet the owner of Micato Safaris, the company we were going on safari with in Kenya. It was really nice to be invited to their house because we got to know the owner and we really liked having a home-cooked meal since we don't get too many of those these days.
The next morning, we woke up really early and took a prop plane to Amboseli National Park, where you could clearly see Mount Kilimanjaro. It felt really funny to be looking at a snow-covered peak while roasting in the African sun. One thing Amboseli is famous for is elephants because they walk right up to the jeeps. In Amboseli, they also have watering holes scattered around where we saw hippos, buffalos, and elephants wallowing in the water. One time, a family of elephants came out of the water right next to our jeep and there was a baby, just a week old, with them. David knew how old it was because it still had pink skin on its ears.
