June 06 Hjalli and Magga Dora took a safari with Exodus. The tour was a 15 day camping tour with 20 people. The truck had benches with lockers inside. Fortunately the group got along great as there wasn't very much space in the truck . The tour started in Nairobi and reached down to Zanzibar. |

The first stop was Lake Naivasha. There we visited Elsemere, the home of Joy Adamson of Born Free fame. The colobus monkeys had become accustomed to afternoon tea on the lawn. |

|
Crater Lake park has no dangerous predators and thus we went for a walk with the animals. There were many giraffes, Thompson's gazelles and zebras. During the trip we learned that zebras as as common in east Africa as sheep is in Iceland. |

Who's the boss? |

|
Testing the water |




|
Giraffes have few natural predators due to their size. Therefore they move gracefully over the planes. Their weak spot is their neck and so they rarely put their head down; preferring to eat cacti rather than drink water. It is their strong point as well. They can tee off a predator with their head if it bothers them. So the strongest neck is boss. That is what this friendly gesture above is all about. |

Warning! |

|
The most dangerous animal in Africa; The hippo. |

|
Next we went to Lake Nakuru. There we came upon the rarest of creatures in east Africa; the black rhino. Estimated only about 4-600 left in east Africa. |

|
Looks peaceful enough |

|
It has pointy teeth! |


|
In Africa more people are killed by hippos than with any other animal. This happens at night when the hippos come out to graze. They are not comfortable outside the safety of the water and will charge anyone they feel is threatening. |
