Ol Pejata Conservancy & Mt Kenya, May 28, 2009

Jim chose today to relax all day at the cottage, and had a WONDERFUL time doing nothing! Jamie and I visited Sweetwaters Reserve on the Ol Pejata Ranch - first to visit with the ever-so-entertaining chimpanzees at the Jane Goodall Sanctuary & then go on a game run through the ranch. The animals were VERY plentiful today, we were seeing cocktails of animals!
After lunch back at MKSC, Jamie and I visited my friends in the Mt. Kenya Wildlife Conservancy. It was great to see them again!
