On our last day on Safari we descended once again into the crater and although the fast action of yesterdays kill was not there we still encountered new and exciting wildlife. We came across an Eland, Male Kori buzzard in full plummage showing off for the females trying to attract one. Flamingos by the thousand were on the lake, I practiced my bird watching a shooting flying birds quite successfully today, another black shouldered kite, sacred ibis, flying crested cranes, a spoonbilled stork and red wing widowbird. Also saw a hippo,2 white rhinos, african white pelicans, black headed heron, an old elephant , several more lions and a horned chameleon.
After lunch we visited a Masai village, they live simply herding cattle, sheep and goats, eat only meat and drink milk and cows blood. They are very decorated in their dress, live many people to a small hut and are very well educated learning from the age of three. It was a truly rewarding experience. I found a patient that need some ear work, and I even taught them how to throw spears but they were better!
Tomorrow I will begin my two day journey home. I will post one last blog tomorrow from Kenya with my reflections of the trip and a few of my favorite pictures.
