Little Bit of Nairobi

I found this video on CNN International. It has many interesting points.

1. We have been thru the roundabout at the start of the video.

2. There are at least 4 roundabouts going thru the city. At every access point, there are 2 police directing traffic. They only allow 1 or 2 access points to use the roundabout at a time. So the other sides must wait. This is one of the reasons the traffic is very congested here.

3. The Storks. Man, they are not kidding when they say the wingspan
is 10ft. They are huge!

4. The Nairobi National Park is the one we went to on Day 2.
It is 117 sq km. In sq acres = 28,911.

I hope you have about 10 minutes to watch the video. It will give you a feeling of what the park is like and some of the street scenes.

Click on the picture below, it should open the link to the video.

the Ivory Burning Ban ceremony.
