We all loved the Ark Lodge and really didn't want to leave! It was so remote and peaceful that one could just sit on the deck all day, sipping wine and watching the animals!!! They have a live webcam set up at the watering hole so you can check it out anytime at www.thearkkenya.com
We got up early enough to watch the sun rise over Mount Kenya before breakfast. After breakfast we hit the road for our next destination.
As always, the drive is very interesting as we pass through rural areas and small towns. Always, there are people walking alongside the road. There is always something amazing to be seen, it is a feast for the eyes. We stopped at the equator line and got a demonstration on the Coreolis Effect, but having seen it before, I am still sceptical about the direction of water turning within a few meters of the equator!
Our journey took us into the Rift Valley and we started to see zebras grazing all over the place!! Our destination was Lake Nayvasha. The resort here is out of this world! Zebras and various species of deer are roaming freely throughout the property. We HAVE to be escorted by security after dark as we move about the property.
Part of the group went on an optional boat ride on the lake in hopes of seeing hippos. I haven't got a report back yet. The rest of us chose to stay back and enjoy the pool and a cool drink!!
We are having fun, lots of laughs! We officially begin our game drives tomorrow and I think everyone is ready!!! Most people are staying healthy but a few of had some minor setbacks that are hopefully short lived!!!
