Malewa Wildlife Conservancy

Tuesday, November 11,  we took time to pay our respect for our fallen soldiers and those soldiers today who are taking care of us, with 2 minutes of silence.  Our guides also bowed their heads in respect with us.

Malewa Conservany is a 3500 acre conservancy with a wide range of habitats, from the river and woodlands to the short grass and shrubs.  It is home to 3500 head of wildlife which included the Rothschild giraffe, Cape buffalo, impala, gazelle, eland, hyphenated, hippo and many bird species especially the flamingo. This conservancy is part of the Great Rift Valley.

The Rift Valley stretches for thousands of miles. A chain of volcanoes line the valley, some are extinct and some remain active with a number of hot springs.  This area also provide for ideal conditions for geothermal  power plants which are important for Kenya's energy supply. 

Lake Nakuru is a pink algae lake which is food for thel beautiful pink flamingos.  In the park along with the flamingoes we also spotted the black rhinos, warthogs, waterbucks, Cape buffalo, zebras, gazelles, baboons and lions.
