Naivasha Updates

GREEPARK CHILDRENS’ PARTY

Christmas has come early for Green Park School.
The children received Christmas gifts and a huge cake was baked to celebrate it which the staff served to the kids.






ZEBRA UPDATE

Pili,  was born on 18 January 2012. Next month, he will be one year old.
He is still suckling although he is almost as big as his mother. This is not unusual because zebra foal suckle for 8 to 12 months. So by next month, Pili should no longer be suckling.


MOUNT LONGONOT CLIMBING

This is one of the best areas to climb/hike. One's advised to leave the hotel at 6:00 am so as to arrive at  the gate by 7:00 am. Once done with the formalities of paying, by 7:30am you are good to start climbing.

A walking stick helps with the trek, and be ready to get dusty. 

You will appreciate the sweat when you get to the top. Once up there, you have the option to walk around the rim.  If you do, try going anti-clockwise.
