Jambo,
Today was our penultimate full day in Kenya. We were driven to the Marungu Hills tree nursery where we spent the morning filling pots with soil and manure ready to plant seeds, which we did after lunch. The reason for this is because when the rains come later in the year they will be planted in the surrounding hills in order to reintroduce indigenous species.
We managed to plant 1000 seeds, beating the record of any previous group by 200 (and that was by a group of 30!!!). Fantastic work!
Through the course of the morning there was a herd of elephants about 100m away then they wandered to 50m away for a drink from a water pump which was a really cool thing to see. We've been incredibly lucky with our elephant sightings this week!
Tomorrow we will be making elephant dung paper with the local ladies then making bead jewellery, then on Sunday we head back to Moshi ready for our second safari in Tarangire National Park on Monday.
Happy weekend everyone!
Will update again tomorrow.
