RUMA GAME PARK and MBITA

February 20, 2014

On our visit to Rusinga Island and Mbita in February

we went a little early and met Brother Amos 

and he went with us to 

RUMA GAME PARK.

Near the entrance we saw several

WATERBUCK.

It was a rainy day so many of the animals were in hiding!!

WATERBUCK

 

BABOONS

We saw many hills with this pattern of plant growth.

This is a very pretty bird but the picture doesn't do it justice.

This was a pretty park.

Can you see the 

GIRAFFE?

A parasite plant in a tree.

Buildings by an entrance.

We wanted to see the Roan Antelope but hadn't seen one so 

we asked a Ranger where the herd may be.

He told us to travel this path so far and maybe we would see them.

No, we did not see them and that was the main reason 

to go to the park. We enjoyed the park and with Amos!

We traveled from the park to Mbita and the views of the lake

were spectacular!!

This island allows NO DOGS on the island.

Loooooong story so will tell it another time.
