Nakuru is in the rift valley. It is a flat expanse surrounded by mountains. There is a lake that is home to the Lake Nakuru National Park.
It's a beautiful area and is the sight of several films: Out of Africa, The Constant Gardener and The Fifth Horseman.
Our camp site is in a wildlife conservancy, Karibuni Pundi Milias. It is reminiscent of Jurassic Park as it is surrounded by a 10 foot tall electric fence. You can hear buffalo and zebra from beyond the fence. The showers are amazing, scalding hot and open to fruiting banana trees.
We finally get our truck! The Land Rover has been replaced with a large overlanding truck. We also have two more passengers, girls from Sweden and England.
There's a very friendly black cat that likes to hang out with us. e named her Panther.
It poured rain the second night and all I could think about was the rainy night during Jurassic Park when the electric fence failed and the dinosaurs got out of their cages. Hopefully there won't be lions outside my tent in the morning.
