King Fisher Lodge

Yesterday we visited King Fisher Lodge which is a safari lodge about 50 minutes south of our home. We took a taxi bus called a mutatu which costs 7,000 sh (about $3) a person. It is on the edge over looking the park and the view of the rift valley is amazing. It is like looking out at the ocean to which there is no end in sight.

We swam although it was cloudy and the water was cold. Swimming costs 10,000 sh ($4.50) for the day even if you only go in once. The food there was pretty good. I had their version of a club sandwich which was chicken, pork chunks, avocado, cabbage, and something like mayo. Along with that we had chips (french fries), fruit salad, and banana fritters with honey. The sandwich and chips was about 16,000 and the fruit salad 5,000.

We had a really great time and felt truly relaxed. On the way home we were lucky enough to catch a bus that only cost 5,000 per person and we had much more room. As we drove home we saw a hippo! I was unable to get a picture :(
