My first safari was the day after I got to Kenya. We went to the park that is just outside of the city. When we first got in I didn't think we would be able to see anything because there were huge bushes on both sides so we couldn't see past them. After like a mile or so it stopped and we could see, however we only saw open space at first. After about fifteen minutes we found a good sized group of zebra eating so we got some really good pictures of them. It was really cool because we ended up finding them even before the safari people did. After we watched them for a while we continued on. The scenery was so nice to just see. I found that if you don't like to just sit and talk while looking at the things around you would get really board on safari. When you are on safari you see animals for like 2 minutes then wait for like 2 hours and then see animals again for like a minute. However that minute in which you see the animals is worth the hour or so of looking for it. After looking for at things for a while, an
d having fun driving around we found some deer and HUGE birds. It was cool to see them but we didn't really stop to look we just kept going. Shortly after we found some Ostrich and a few more Zebra all close to each other grazing. It was really cool to see an Ostrich that close because they are really big. After that we decided we would start heading back towards the entrance but on the way we saw a huge group of cars and animals so we decided to get over to that area. That took long enough that the cars had all left however the animals were still there. It ended up being a big pack of water buffalo. It was really cool to see that many of them all that close and so many of them. We stayed there and watched them for a little but then decided that we should leave them alone because they are known to have a bad temper. From there we headed back to the entrance (which was a long drive) enjoying the scenery. It was a good start to what I hope will be many safaris to come!
