Lake Magadi
Thursday, May 2 I left JJ's around 9:00 to go to the Lake Magadi. On the
way I stopped at Olorgasailie,
here, Pre-historic Site in the Great Rift Valley
where the great adventure of the hominids started, more one million
years ago, when the great monkeys became bipeds to seek their food after
the disappearance of the forests by traversing the Rift Valley
northwards. Then I went at the edge of Lake Magadi,
here, where I bivouacked
during two nights to take flamingos in flight in the small hour.

Visit of Amboseli NP
from 2019/05/05 ato 2019/05/05
Saturday, May 4 I moved towards Amboseli National Park,
here, where I arrived around 14:00. After discussion with a ranger
and payment of fee I started to visit the park around 14:30 until
closing at 18:00. I established my bivouac for two nights in Kimana
Camp, in the process of becoming a ruin. Entered tardily I could return
in the park the next morning as of 6:00 until the hour of my entry the
day before at 14:30. The park is a marshy plain where herbivores feed.
The second day around 6:30 I saw four cheetahs admiring the sunrise
wallowed in the plain. During my visit at the time of a break I admired
Kilimandjaro, 5895m, whose summit was still partially snow-covered.

from d'Amboseli NP to l'A109, Sagala Lodge
from 2019/05/06 to 2019/05/06
A109, Sagala Lodge
Monday, May 6 as of early dawn I started from Kimana Camp to go to visit
West Tsavo National Park,
here. The park is covered with a luxuriant and very green vegetation
making the view of the wild animals very problematic. Moreover I saw
only one giraffe, the zebras and some impalas. Moreover the covered with
very deep corrugated track make the progression very slow, a true
martyrdom. I decided to leave this green hell, certainly with imposing
landscapes of mountains and old volcanos, by Tsavo Gate to go to bivouac
and have rest in Sagala Lodge on A109 moving to Mombasa.
