I SAW GIRAFFES! So it's been three months since i renewed my visa so it was off to get a new ugandan one. This time Ashley, a fellow vol, and I decided to go to Kenya and go and see some wild life, and ooooh my days did we see a lot! We left Kampala at 3pm and got to Nakuru, Kenya at 2am, so we stayed the night there and then made our way to Lake Naivasha. The journey there was amazing.
