Day 7 - where are all the lions?

W e went out early today hoping to find the lions and see some leopards. We weren't able to find any but we did talk to some people that had camped in the park and they told us that while they were sitting by their camp a leopard came walking by them. They also said that they could hear the lions roaring all night long. The guy that we were talking to had red eyes and I imagine he didn't get much sleep with lions and leopards that close. The animals we did see today were giraffes, rhinos, impalas, gazelles, zebras, flamingos, a large tortoise, and as we were driving over a culvert in the road two wart hogs jumped out of it.
The ride home was another hold on for dear life ride, not sure if I could ever get used to that. Also as we were driving I saw two guys and one girl urinating on the side of the road. There are also little kids that sit close to the roads and watch the traffic go by, with no parent in site.
Once back in Nairobi, we went shopping at the Nakumatt which is kind of like a Walmart, it basically sells everything you need.

We took a picture of these flowers then drove by them again about an hour later and there were only 2 flowers left.
