Went on safari today, it was epic! The park is 3 hours from here so it was a 5am pick-up and we drove through Mombassa. We got to the park around 8.30 and straight away were up close and personal with all the animals. We drove around until 12 then went for lunch, nothing fancy (more rice!!!!!)
After lunch we drove round some more until about 3 then headed back towards Mombassa but on the back roads, through the villages which was both interesting and bumpy. We passed through Shimba Hills which is a forest whereas Tsavo East where we'd been all day was a savannha so we got to see lots! A couple of piccies to rub it in:

Yeah, it really was awesome. Nothing but savannha as far as the eye can see. Did see a couple of Wharthogs but they scampered off before I could get a picture :(
