Hippos!!!




While there are apparently hippos on Ol Pejeta, we never saw one while we were there. However, there is a place on Mpala called the hippo pool where they like to go and wade, so we decided to drive by there today and see if there were any around. And there were 20 of them!


We went by the other day and there were only 2, but they must have all been hanging out today... including a cute little baby hippo.


It has rained here most of the past 5 days... so we've been doing a lot of nothing. But today it was clear enough that we decided to test the roads and see if we could make it up to the place where Lisa is going to set out tents to try to continue her experiment. Some of the roads are still bad, but we made it and saw a bunch of Grevy's zebra on the way too. I think I saw more Grevy's in one spot here than exist on all of Ol Pejeta.
