We woke up early to get a good start on our animal search. I love checking cows but this was pretty amazing. Ol pejeta conservancy is Huge with hundreds of different wild animals. We started by first seeing Angola cows which are Wills favorite, imagine that. They have huge horns that grow straight up. They are native to Uganda but they brought them to the conservancy to produce embryos to put into their native cows. Their native cows are mostly dairy breeds so they are hoping by using the embryos they will get more beef influence. I forgot to mention....this is also a business trip which you will hear more about in the coming days.
Next onto the rhinos. We were fortunate to see both black and white rhinos and even a baby that was only a week old. In part of the conservancy they have a blind rhino that they rescued and you are able to feed and pet. Lyndin was alittle afraid but stepped right up to feed it with daddy's help. That's my girl.
We say hundreds and hundreds of zebras, gazallas, impelas, worthogs, cows and bush bucks.
Along with elephant families, cape buffalo, hyenas and a couple gariffi. It was pretty awesome.
They have a chimpanzee conservancy within the park. You are able to see some of the 36 chimps that make that place their home. Chimps are not native to this region so they are acquired through caught smuggling, poachers killing mother's and babies are displaced and other unfortunate circumstances. To make a donation to help the chimps Lyndin became a junior member.
After 6 hours of safari we headed back home to roast a goat. Yum!
Awesome!!! Have fun and take tons of pics!
