Africa Day 1

Before attempting to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, I will be on a 18 day birding and wildlife safari through Kenya and Tanzania. After sleeping in to recover a bit from the flights, I joined my tour group (5 other folks plus our Field Guides Tour leader, Terry Stevenson). We did a half day birding at Nairobi National Park, a mostly grasslands park, with some acacia scrub as well (see photo of the park). We saw 70 species of birds and 8 mammals! Among the mammals were giraffe, zebra, eland, gazelle, hartebeest and warthog.
