Nakuru - Baboon fight

Here's another experience we never expected to see. Baboons fighting. Right in front of us.

Aberdare

From the central lakes we made our way via Thomson's Falls to the Aberdare Country Club. Set in surroundings that is reminiscent of a colonial club it had dark mahogany bars, a golf course, high teas and just the whiff of the Empire long gone. Warthogs, gazelles and impalas roamed freely on the grounds.

The Aberdare Game Reserve was very different from the Masai Mara. While the Mara was mostly flat plains, Aberdare was like a rain forest with dense undergrowth and trees. The soil was rich clay, so the overall effect was a red tinge on everything. So the types of animals found there were different.
