We saw so many animals in Nakuru that I’ve split it over 2 blogs. Otherwise it might be too  big to upload. On the afternoon game drive we came across some giraffes. The breed is called Rothschild and is particular to this region. It’s distinctive feature is it’s white knee socks. It is now an endangered species with only 2,300 left so it was good to see this group had a youngster in tow.

There are so few white rhino left in the world that I never expected to see one even though they are specific to this part of Africa. We were delighted when we just happened upon them. There are only 4,500 left and they are still being hunted for their horns. Poachers are reportedly shot on sight but unfortunately there have been instances of collusion between poachers and rangers. The Kenyan government is really clamping down on such behaviour and if caught, long jail sentences are given.
