National Museum/ Giraffes!!
On Saturday after work the rest of the girls and I went to the National Museum
of Nairobi. It was really good! Very interesting! We had to get 2 Matatu buses
there, so that was fun! lol We then went to the Snake park, which was really
horrible, coz I hate snakes, but I got to hold a chameleon, and TURTLES!! :D
Then today, we went to the Giraffe Centre for endangered Animals. We got
to feed the Giraffes! :D This was amazing. We saw some warthogs too. But then
we went on a "nature trail" that ended up being more like a safari
Hike! The guy took us all the way up this hill where we could see over the top
of the canopy of trees. Apparently we were looking for Hyenas but we couldn't
see any. We did get so close to a wild giraffe though!! The guy told us to stay
15 meters away. Then it started coming at us so we had to leave quickly back
down the big hill!! :P

This is a cross between a giraffe and a Zebra >>>; it’s called an
OKAPI :) They are from Central Africa. Monica looked it up and it appears
that they are closely related to giraffes but stumpy. No need to be tall to get
the leaves as they live in dense vegetation in the rainforest in the Congo.
