On Sunday afternoon following District Conference we
drove to Naivasha and visited with
Elder and Sister Dalley for our Preparation Day.
We went to the chapel in Naivasha to see where the Branch met.
Inside was a large meeting area and several offices and classrooms.
Near the road we saw a GIRAFFE nibbling off a tree.
We also rode in a boat out to see the hippos in Lake Naivasha.
Here are Sister and Elder Dalley ready for the ride.
There were LOTS of trees along the shoreline and in the trees
and bushes along the lake edge.
BIRDS and more BIRDS.
Flowers in the top of a CANDELABRA TREE.
Birds taking off for a flight.
I love the look of the birds against the sky!
The lake is usually covered with flamingos but the lake is
so high there are hardly any here.
IMPALAS
ZEBRA
and there were a lot of these here
Look closely and see the lesser FLAMINGOS flying in
formation around the lake.
YELLOW BILLED CRANE
STORKS
ZEBRAS
Look closely for the HIPPOS!!
PEEK - A - BOO!!
I see a HIPPO!!
We saw two families of hippos in the lake.
FLAMINGOS
Not often does one see the hippos on the shore during the day.
Can you see this one getting some sun?
Then it was up and moving!
Right towards us at first then.....
...moving to the water....
...and how refreshing to be in the water.
With each step it moved deeper and ....
...deeper into the water.
WATERBUCK
We saw many more birds and animals here but alas no pictures.
ELSAMERE
Home of Joy Adamson who raised some lions and was able to
introduce them back into the wild.
The movie Born Free was filmed from her experiences.

This estate is right near the lake and here is a
HYACINTH plant in flower near the edge of the lake.
Inside the home,
We had lunch on the lawn and enjoyed the scenery and the
monkeys in the nearby tree.
We also visited
ELEMENTAITA WEAVERS
This was a great Preparation Day in Naivasha.
We drove home the next morning to a very bust day!!
