Since I am technically a tourist, Paul and Elizabeth entertain me at times by going to do 'touristy' things. While in Nairobi we visited a giraffe sanctuary where you can get up close and personal with the beauties. While we were there we saw a few school groups pass through and I thought, "nothing against DeGraaf Nature Center or Tuesink's Pony Farm, but Giraffe Sanctuary wins hands down in the 'cool field trip' category."
Here are a few pics...I am still working out how to create a link to see all my pictures. There is something not quite computing with my browser. Quite ironic, considering the name of my browser is Safari.
While we were in Naivasha we passed a Zebra that pretends its a horse. Jason told us that it hangs out in the horse pasture with the horses and seriously thinks its a horse. So we stopped the car and Jason told me to go try to pet it. He made it seem like it was a normal thing to do and that it should be easy. I trusted him completely since he is a bona fide bushman. This is about as close as I got.
I felt like a failure. But then Jason told me when I got back to the car he has never touched it either, he just wanted to see if I could.

Jaxon says (in regards to Nairobi school field trips) "thats how we roll"
just to make the six degrees of separation even crazier...the giraffe center is where joel lived for six weeks back in '93 and where we stayed in '04. i/we are so, so, so glad you were able to experience such an awesome, gorgeous setting! and, now, you've hopefully had your fill of giraffes...and zebra? (;
wish we were with you...

Hi Kate,
You have some beautiful pictures of the giraffes. This reminds me of when I tried to catch the wild chickens in hawaii... I was so close. I enjoy reading your updates.
I've been to that giraffe sanctuary... good times. I was once also walking down a road a little outside of Nairobi and came across some baboon/monkey animals. I was certain if they wanted, they could rip my head off. i guess they didn't sense my fear, or else just didn't feel like ripping of heads that day. Scary.
Not sure about your emailed blog template question. I'll re-read it though and get back to you.
Once again. So happy you are there.
yap that is how we roll in Nairobi. I guess the Zebra you were trying to catch is the same Zebra I caught many a times on my visit there. mmm I am surprised that it's still there :-)
good times, my sis, good times!
Yep, definitely beats Teusinks and De Graaf. Not sure it tops Muskegon State Park, however....
Your zebra chasing reminds me of your brother trying to catch a sea gull up at the Mackinaw Bridge :)
(And who the heck is MOM -- it's not me.
Hey Kate,
Just wanted to let you know that I saw pictures of that same Giraffe place just this summer from some of the Hamilton clan (you have met Janis)!! Looks like a fantastic place and you can't beat the kiss from the giraffe picture-amazing!
Hope all is well and Love you Lots!!
Amy
