Kakuru Lake National Park

Hello everybody,

Last Thursday we visited a National Park, around 160 km from Nairobi.
It was an organised trip with a local guide who is learning Spanish and had some opportunity to practise and welcome us to the region.

see more information about the park
www.kws.org/nakuru.html -

To visit the Nakuru Lake national park was an amazing experience, it is
based in the Rift Valley, where Prof. Wangari Mathai worked for many years...
the weather was wonderful and the trip was an opportunity to travel around the country and visit some villages.
I was told that white Europeans are called mzungu by the local people.

We learned some kenyans songs and teached some Irish, and Latin American Songs...

Remembering and thinking about my experience as a guide in Ireland and it is really so different here... we were a total of 14 people, mostly interpreters, who travelldd to Nakuru national park. However other people went to other National Park, Amboselly National Park on the border with Tanzania, and they never managed to arrive to the Park.Will post photos soon

There were giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and flamingos amonth others...
