Here we are finally at Mt Kenya, at the animal orphanage.
Vickie feeding the crown crane
This is a Bongo, it is an endangered animal. This orphanage was started as an effort to protect this unusual animal. The stripes on their bodies makes them very special and vulnerable as you can imagine how beautiful that piece of "rug" would be...
Feeding the ostrich, Patricia...she pecks hard!
Porcupine. ..we were told this kind does not shoot their needles...phew..
This tortoise is at least 100 years old and can live up to 300 years old. His name is Speedy - appropriate, don't you think?
At the entrance of the orphanage...sorry my pictures are not in any particular order!!
Some kind of wild cat, with special looking ears..
me and my roomate!
this monkey is still a baby, I think he is 6 months old..
We didn't realise that Mt Kenya is at 7000 ft above see level. It got cold when we were there.
A quaint little chapel.
me and my pastor :-))
father and daughter, look at the way they stood...same???
the "giant" maze - not really, you really can't get lost, you just walk in circles and eventually will come out ! I will try to post more photos...the girls took tons!
