Day 4

The morning started with Sam and Erin running a crafts session with Anna and Catherine Ruddock while Jed. Jon Rudduck and I played more football games with the children. They are mainly quite young so it’s stretching my memory to go back to when I did U6 football. This one below is called the Chicken game which they really enjoyed!

In the afternoon we all went on a trip to the giraffe sanctuary and then onto the elephant orphanage. The trip there took us past the Nairobi national park and we saw a troop of baboons crossing the main road and warthogs on the verge

There were 12 giraffes in the giraffe sanctuary where we all got to feed the dominant male, Eddy

But the highlight of the day was the elephants, where we got to stand next to the stampeed as they came home for their tea. We then went and watched them being fed and got to touch them as they fed.

This one is Dolono, who we sponsor.

As well as the elephants, there was one rhino. Rhinos are apparently quite rare in the Massai Mara, so this may be the only one we see on this trip.
