toady we took kindergarten and standards 1,2,3 and 4 to haller park, a nature reserve. it's a little like petworthpark if you were to replace the deer with antelope and the squirrels with giraffes.

Immediatly when we arrived in the car park there were several antelope wandering around, they weren't friendly but you could get within 15ft of them and they wouldn't flinch. when the kids arrived we took them to feed the giraffes, which are far bigger in real life than they seem on film. I didn't get a chance to feed them myself, there was no more food when i got to the box, but from the smiles and giggles of the kids i imagine it must tickle.

We walked through the park and saw a bunch of giant tortoises the size of  little cars, the kids gang rushed a really large one which in it's haste to get away almost trampled Mike.

Inside there were hipo's and crocodiles, monkeys and mongeese, stalks and impala, as well as a load of fish, snakes and insects.

Alex got pooped on by a monkey.

So did a school student and one of the teachers. or it may have been wee i don't remember.

When we walked back out into the car park we found that the antelope had been joined by a herd of massive Giraffes.

We gave drinks to the kids at the end of the day (around 2pm) and they sat and ate jam sandwiches, which the monkeys were eager to steal.

After getting back on the Mutatus we spent some time in a cafe an d had some drinks, then walked back to the hotel.

The Masai mara are here again.

The water here tastes funny, still.
