Ruma National Park (part 1)

For Alberts last full weekend in Kenya, we decided to go to Ruma National Park.  Highlights of the trip can be seen below:

The trip began with a minor mishap on the ferry to Mbita.  Erwan, in haste to alight his vehicle (seen below) locked the keys in the car.  Since we were on a ferry and tightly crammed in, we had to break the passenger window to disembark once we reached our destination.  Then to keep rain, baboons, and other such critters out of the beloved Subaru we had to tarp the passenger door.

We stayed at a lovely Kenyan Wildlife Service guest house within the park
