After lunch we had another game drive as we wound our way out of the park.

| A colorful bird |

| Baboon troop |

| Monitor lizard |
 |
| Mongoose family living on an old termite mound |
 |
| Ostrich family |
 |
| Ear-flapping elephant |
Here’s the list of the animals that we saw: lioness, giraffe, elephant, zebra, spotted hyena, common baboon, gazelle, impala, antelope, oryx, hartebeest, Kirk’s dik-dik, warthog, banded mongoose and monitor lizard. We saw these birds: lilac-breasted roller, some kind of bustard, hawk and eagle. We saw these animals many times and after awhile we didn’t even stand up to see more zebra, elephants, impala and gazelle! The highlight was when a group of giraffes walked in front of the van. Snookums went on an East African safari about twenty years ago and saw all of these animals except for the monitor lizard so even she ended up seeing something new!
Next: The drive back to Mombasa!
