Up early to meet our new guides. There are three of them again, all from Kenya, Joseph, the guide, Joel the driver and the cook, Dickson. They drove the three of us to the Boulevard Hotel for breakfast and to meet the other new people. Eight people are joining us and eleven more in a couple of days in Uganda. The new people seem nice and older, but I couldn't talk to them, frustrating. We had a brief meeting and then we headed off. We stopped for a bit of shopping and stuff, but the main destination today was Lake Nakuru National Park.
We had lunch just inside the gates with a herd of impala looking on. Then we went on a four hour game drive. We saw flamingos, pink pelicans, impala, zebra, giraffe, Cape buffalo, water buck, baboons, vervet monkeys, maribou storks, a couple of lionesses, and the main attraction, about ten white rhinoceros.
By the end I was feeling crumby. I haven't slept well the last three nights, I still have my cold and laryngitis. When we got to Rembu Campgrounds I went to bed and skipped dinner. I was awake for quite a while with an upset stomach. Finally I was up twice at three and four to throw up. Amazing I haven't been sick earlier. There have been a number of people sick in the last couple of weeks.
Hey Joe! you're sure it's not Malaria!?!
