Last Safari

Hello, we were just in Kenya. When we got there, we met up with our guide David. David was going to spend more than a week with us and I was excited because from the minute we met him, he was really cool.

The first place David took us was Amboseli National Park. We flew there in the morning and we were able to see Mount Kimimanjaro, which is the biggest mountain in Africa. There was a big herd of elephants there and one of them was named Echo. Echo is a famous elephant because somebody has been researching her for a long, long time and even made a movie about her. Echo is easy to pick out because she has really big tusks and one of them is crooked. She's the leader of a big herd and we got to see her and her family pass right by our jeep.

On one of the game drives, we saw a whole bunch of hyenas relaxing on some rocks by the water, so we called it "hyena beach." Later that day, we saw a really newborn wildebeest! We were all excited to see the baby get up and walk, but because it was so windy, it had a hard time. It takes humans about a year to walk, but this baby wildebeest walked after only 15 minutes. It was super duper cool to see. The next day when we were walking around our lodge we met some of the workers who were taking care of an orphaned wildebeest baby they found. It was really cute and they allowed us to pet it.
