The first destination on my Safari with Mom and Dad was to Lake Baringo, a beautiful island-spotted lake in central Kenya. At lake Baringo we were able to see tons of wildlife like Hippos, Lung Fish, Fish Eagles, and dozens of other birds. The highlight of our day and night at Baringo was th e 2 hour boat ride tour of the area.
Mom and Dad scanning the water for any signs of Hippos.
A fisherman caught this HUGE Lung fish which he had a hard time even getting into his tiny little balsa wood boat. When we drove up he was beating it senseless with a metal rod.
The Fish Eagles enjoyed a nice little meal when we came around and threw talapia in the water for them to eat. We bought some small fish from a local fisherman in a tiny boat and then crammed balsa wood down its throat so that it would float when tossed to the eagles. This trick makes for some pretty awesome shots.
The hippos we saw were only in a small area near the shoreline. At night we could hear them grunting at each other as they came ashore right into our campground.
