Yesterday was a day so different from the rest. We visited a baby elephant orphanage in Nairobi that was truly amazing. The staff rescues elephant orphans, nurses them to good health and reintroduces them back into their native settings. The whole process can take over ten years. This park was featured on 60 Minutes not too long ago so I knew a little beforehand of their operation, but to see it in person was amazing. The Kenyans are very concerned about the environment and go about preserving it in a very holistic way.They also had a baby rhino that played like a dog... a very substantial dog. From there we went to see the giraffe farm where they bred Rothschild giraffes, a species that only numbers about 500 globally. We fed the giraffes, and three of us were kissed by one. No, I'm not going to tell you who the three of us were... that's up to you to find out.
Today is our last day in Africa... for now. Having seen Africa and meeting the most incredible people, I can't imagine ever having a last trip.
