Aberdares

Mom and dad left yesterday (Thursday) around 1pm, and it was sad to see them go. I hope they had a great trip and will want to come back to Kenya again now.

Finally finishing up overdue posts, here is the stop last of our safari: the Aberdares. This is a high altitude range where the habitat is very different than, say, the open plains of the Mara. We took a game drive to see the scenery and then spent the night at the Ark-- a hotel that literally looks like Noah's Ark and sits next to a waterhole/mineral soil spot that they illuminate all night so you can see animals come to drink and eat minerals out of the soil. When we arrived there were 20+ elephants all eating away.
