Rebecca, Naomy, Lani and the globe-trotting four spent a night in Lake Nakuru - safaris are not so expensive if you can use your hosts car; the national parks are very cheap for Kenyans (if they can get there, and get around); and it turns out to be a pretty great activity for people with mobility impairments. There are lots of photos below, and quite a few of them are worth clicking on to see the big version. Sorry!
We'd had an early start and a long drive, so we slept for an hour before heading out to see the wildlife. True to the promise of our welcoming monkey, the place was heaving with beasts: it's a much smaller park than Tsavo East, the animals are much closer, and the vegetation was drier and easier to see through.
In the middle of Lake Nakuru National Park is ... a lake! Full of soda, you wouldn't want to swim or even paddle in it - but many flamingos do.
After this, we completed our first circuit of the lake in the increasing gloom before going to bed, dusty but happy.
