This blog describes my adventures in Africa. In 2018, this will be my 4th trip to Africa. I traveled to Rwanda in March 2016, and Kenya and Tanzania in the Spring, 2015, and Kenya in 2010. On our journey, we'll be visiting schools, centers for people with disabilities, making friends, looking for animals and finding adventure wherever we go. Wahoo!!!!

Suruni

Today we are in a place called Suruni! It is very cool here because it has 2 pools!  The pools are shaped like a dolphin and a turtle!  The one that I am swimming in right here is the dolphin shaped one and I am in the fin. Yesterday we met up with our friends, 4 were from America Eli, left Avery, And there parents Chris and Rebekah. The other boy in the picture is Isacko and Ali they are brothers, his dad is a Senator in Kenya and his mom helped start a school in Northern Kenya for high school girls.
It's in the Samburu conservancy, so there are a bunch of animals just running around and the people who run this place are the local Samburu people who are very kind. My mom and I came here three years ago, and I am with the same people as last time, Eli and Isacko. This morning we wen't on a game drive, that is pretty much a safari but for only 7 hours. We saw a bunch of cool things like elephants, giraffes, Dik Dik's, Gazelle, Impala, and a bunch of other things. But the best thing that we saw was two cheetah's running after each other.

Tonight all of the kids are doing a "warriors academy," I did that the last time that I was here. It was very fun, first you get a bow and arrow, then you start a fire by spinning a stick very fast, on a piece of wood, that is on top of some grass. Meanwhile, our parents will be on a walking safari. I think the warrior academy will be very fun!  We'll learn things like starting fires without matches, shooting bows and arrows, and throwing spears like the Samburu warriors!

Tomorrow we will go to an elephant sanctuary and I will say more about that tomorrow, if I have WiFi.

Kwaheri(goodbye)
I will make another post tomorrow!
