| feeding time at the giraffe centre! |
We decided to visit the giraffe centre where the endangered Rothschild is on display. It was really cool to pet and feed a live giraffe, and I learned that they have cloven hooves rather than round horse-like ones!

There were these adorable warthogs around as well, and they snuffle around on their knees for food, as they can't reach to bend their necks down!
Shayla and I went afterwards to the monkey park, and after a short time where we thought we had arrived (only to discover it was just a path TO the park...) we found ourselves surrounded by monkeys and feeding them with some bananas and corn that we were given by the locals. So cool to a haven them sitting right on your shoulder, an we also saw a little baby clinging to his mother's tummy as she foraged as well.

I returned to the place where we are bunked to wait for Kat and Lisa who had decided to eat out (I'm on a budget though!) only to find there were not enough beds! We relocated to the volunteer house where we passed a few hours on the first day, and I had a great sleep. The only problem is te amount of cockroaches that scuttle around in te ceiling and on the beds ... I tucked my mosquito net tight around me and put earbuds in to cut out the scurrying... Gross! Thankfully the bus ride the night before had me wiped!
