KENYA 1989

INDLEDNING.

I november og december 1989 arrangerede Københavns afdelingens ekskursionsudvalg stortur til det vidunderlige Kenya. Formålet med vores tur var at besøge et bredt udsnit af landets varierende biotoper, samt at få et kendskab til landets store rigdom af fugle og dyr.

Turarrangementet var tilrettelagt således at man kunne vælge mellem en rundtur på 3 eller 4 uger, de fleste valgte 3-ugersturen og vi var et lille hold på 4 deltagere i ekstraugen. Poul-Erik Madsen og Erik Mølgaard tog dog allerede til Kenya d. 6/11, 13 dage før gruppen ankom. I denne periode besøgte de mest lokaliteter i Vest Kenya. Notaterne for deres tur er for helhedens skyld medtaget i denne rapport.

Turdeltagerne var: Dagny Krüger, Lissie Schlütter, Jørgen Rudfeld, Erik Håkansson, Jørgen Ploug-Sarp, Grethe & Kaj Henriksen, Poul-Erik Madsen. Stig Kjærgaard Rasmussen, Jørgen Nielsen, Jesper Meedom, Finn Jensen, Stig Jensen (leder) og Erik Mølgaard (leder) 
 
Turen foregik i november og december, da dette er et meget fuglerigt tidspunkt. Hvor mange af de europæiske trækfugle passere landet. Her var Ngulia Lodge specielt udvalgt, da lodgens lys i dårligt vejr tiltrækker enorme mængder af nattrækkende småfugle. Ellers besøgte vi de traditionelle parker og fuglelokaliteter. Af tidsmæssige grunde havde vi undladt Vest Kenya i arrangementet.
Denne rundtur gav et meget fint udbytte idet vi på 3-ugersturen så ikke mindre end 582 fuglearter, på ekstraugen blev det til yderligere 21 arter, Poul-Erik og Erik havde 103 art mere på deres ekstra tur. Så ialt rummer denne rapport iagttagelser af 706 fuglearter. Tidspunktet var også fremragende for dyr, især i de norlige parker var koncentrationen af dyr større end normalt. Vi registrerede ikke mindre end 63 arter pattedyr.

Vejret i denne periode midt i den lille regntid var rimelig godt. Vi havde dagligt en mindre regnbyge sidst på dagen. Ved kysten kom regnbyerne desværre om morgenen. Ellers havde vi vekslende skydække og en meget behagelig temperatur. Regnen i denne periode gjorde at vi måtte ændre lidt i vores planlagte program, da vejen mellem Tsavo East og Malindi, samt vejen op over Aberdares var ufremkommelig. På Mt. Kenya måtte vi leje en lille Jeep for at komme op til Met Station. Hvis man ønske at besøge landet i denne periode, bør man undgå at planlægge besøg til disse områder. Men til gengæld er tidspunktet meget frodigt, selv i det tørre Nordkenya, var der grønt og vegetations rigt. Dette gav stor aktivitet blandt fugle og dyrene.

Turen var arrangeret af Albatros rejser i København, landarrangementet fungerede godt, dog havde de lokale chauffører ikke tilstrækkelig  erfaring med ornitolog-gruppers høje aktivitets-niveau og specielle interesse. Flytransporten foregik med Kenya Airways (KQ), som i høj grad levede op til sit ry, som et upræcist selskab med en dårlig ground-service. Vi havde den fornøjelse at ankomme 20 timer forsinket til Nairobi. Dette betød at vi mistede det første døgn, hvor vi skulle overnatte på Kilaguni Lodge i Tsavo West NP. Ved hjemkomsten krævede vi KQ en erstatning på Kr. 1000,- pr. deltager for en tabt feriedag, hvilket selskabet efterkom.

Turens pris var kr. 23.000,- for 3 uger og kr. 27.500,- for 4 uger. I denne pris var inkluderet flytransport, hotel med næsten helpension, transport i 2 safari minibusser med lokale chauffører, 2 danske ledere samt almindelig DOF-service.

Den lokale valuta hedder Kenya Shellings. 1 KHS = 30 øre, ved en dollarkurs på 6,50 kr.

Denne rapport er opdelt i følgende afsnit:

1.	Turgennemgang.
2.	Kort skitser.
3.	Dagbog fra 3-ugersturen.
4.	Litteratur liste.
5.	Fugleliste.
6.	Dyreliste.

Lokalitetsgennemgang er undladt i denne rapport, da alle lokaliteterne er beskrevet i bøgerne (15) Where to Watch Birds in Kenya eller i (20) A field Guide to the East Africans National Parks. 	
	
Stig Kjærgaard Rasmussens og Erik Mølgaards udførlige notater danner grundlag for denne rapport.

Arter som kun blev set af en enkelt eller af meget få observatører, er i artsgennemgangen suppleret med observatørenes navne.

Følgende tegn er anvendt i rapporten:

*  =  Kun set på ekstraugen.

** =  Kun set af Poul-Erik og Erik før DOF ankom.

Poul-Erik og Stig Rasmussen takkes for kritisk gemmenlæsning af artslisterne og Jesper takkes for den flotte forside.

Endelig må det ikke glemmes, at hele turens forløb var præget af kammeratskab og hyggelig samvær. Det er igen med glæde, man kan se tilbage på en vellykket DOF-tur! Tak til alle og på gensyn en anden gang!

SUMMARY

In November/December 1989 The Danish Ornithological Society arranged a birdwatching tour to Kenya. Our main purpose was to visit the majority of the many different habitats of Kenya in order to see as many different bird and mammal species as possible.

Altogether 16 people participated in the tour most of the group for three weeks, but four persons enjoyed an extra week in Kenya, and 2 people (Erik Mølgaard and Poul-Erik Madsen) spent 13 days in western Kenya before the main group arrived.

The three weeks tour made up a list of 582 species whereas the extra week resulted an other 21. The stay in western Kenya had produced 103 species not seen later. We saw 63 species of mammals in all.

The report contain:
1. Itinerary of Journey.
2. Sketch maps.  
3. Tour diary.
4. Literatur list.
5. List of Birds.
6. List of Mammals.

We have not made any descriptions of the localities because they are all well described in the following books: "Where to watch Birds in Kenya" and "A field guide to the East African National Parks".

The made on species accounts were the basis the detailed notes of Erik Mølgaard and Stig K. Rasmussen.

For species seen by only one or a few observers the name(s) of these are given in parrantheses.
In the report the following indicators are used:

* = Only seen duing the extra week.

**= Only seen by Poul-Erik and Erik before the main group arrived.

TURDAGBOG

18-11-89.
Faktisk startede turen onsdag d.15/11, dagen hvor Danmark tabte til Rumænien i kvalifikationen til VM i fodbold. Denne dag fik vi at vide at vores fly afgang til Kenya var udskudt fra fredag aften til lørdag morgen. 
Vi mødtes lørdag morgen i Kastrup lufthavn, men her vidste man stadigvæk ikke hvornår flyet til Kenya ville afgå. Så det var bare at vente, som plaster på såret fik vi morgenmad og frokost på Kenya Airways regning. Endelig lidt efter middag blev vi kaldt ud til vores fly, men vores uheld var ikke slut endnu. I Rom, hvor vi mellemlandede, var der strejke så her fik vi endnu engang lov til at vente.

19-11-89.
Vi ankom godt trætte klokken halv fem om morgen til Nairobi lufthavn. Her tog Erik og Poul Erik imod, de havde sammen med vores chauffører ventet hele aftenen og natten på os. Selvom vi var godt trætte, begav vi os sydpå mod Tsavo West National Park. Dem der stadig kunne se lidt ud af de trætte øjne kunne nyde en stemningsfuld solopgang. Undervejs lavede vi et kort morgenmads stop ved Hunters Lodge, hvor vi foruden at få fyldt depoterne op, så en del fugle. Vi skulle videre til Tsavo, kort efter vi kom ind i parken så vi nogle "røde" elefanter og parken viste sig fra sin gode side med mange dyr og fugle. 
Vi skulle oprindelig havde boet den første nat på Kilaguni Lodge, men p.gr. af fly forsinkelserne mistede vi en dag, så vores første overnatning var på Ngulia Lodge, som bød på en fantastisk oplevelse med Leopard. Den kom om aftenen og spiste noget kød, der var hængt op i et projektøroplyst nøgen træ lige udenfor lodgen. Dette prægtige syn kunne vi nyde mens vi selv sad og spiste. Ellers bød aftenen på Hyæne og Verreauxs Eagle Owl, men det kunne overhovedet ikke måle sig med plette katten.

20-11-89.
De fleste blev denne morgen vækket af lederne som kom ind med Trænattergal og Tornsanger, som var fanget med hænderne i hotellets bar. Det var så heldigt at det sidst på natten var begyndt at regne, så de nattrækkende småfugle søgte ned i læ. Her er Ngulia Lodge beliggenhed helt perfekt. Lodgen ligger ved foden af en række småbjerge som er ledelinie for trækfuglene bl.a. nogle af vores hjemlige sangere. De første morgentimer brugt vi udover at se på farvestrålende afrikanske fugle, til at se på hjemlige fugle som Nattergal, Tornsanger og Kærsanger.
Efter morgenmad gik resten af dagen med "gamedrive" og besøg ved kilden Mzima springs og Kilaguni Lodge. Ved Mzima springs gik vi en tur ved kilden, hvor vi bl.a. så krokodille og flodhest på klodshold samt Giant Kingfisher. Vi spiste vores medbragte frokostpakke ved den smukt beliggende Kilaguni Lodge, hvor vi fik set en del dyr samt en flok Ground Hornbills ved vandhullerne lige udenfor lodgen.
Igen i aften nød Leoparden aftensmaden i sit nøgne træ samtidig med os, vi sad dog lidt mere komfortabelt.

21-11-89.
Vi brugte morgenen på lidt kratlusk ved lodgen, hvor der var ganske få "hjemlige" trækfugle sammenlignet med dagen før. Efter morgenmad startede en lang køretur, der skulle bringe os ud til Malindi ved kysten. Den første del af turen gennem Tsavo West National Park gik som planlagt. Desværre viste det sig at have regnet flere dage i den ellers tørre Tsavo East National Park, så vejene var ufremkommelige, det betød at vi måtte kører sydom parken. 
Vi ankom sidst på eftermiddagen til Malindi, efter kort tid fandt vi vores indkvarteringssted, der lå i et rigmands villakvarter langt fra vandet! Stedet var ikke hvad vi havde regnet med, der var godt nok en svimmingpool, men uden vand, der var ingen airconditionanlæg, så det var uudholdelig varmt især om natten, hvor temperaturen lå i nærheden af 25 grader med meget høj luftfugtighed.

22-11-89.
Vi vågnede op til regn og da regnen fortsatte den første time af morgenen valgte vi at lave en programændring fra at besøge Sokoke skoven, hvor man helst skal være i de første morgentimer fordi fuglene er mest aktive på denne tid af dagen. Vores alternativ var at besøge området ved Sabaki flodens udløb i Det Indiske Ocean. Her fik vi gået en god lang tur i og langs med mangrove skoven, det var en krævende tur, da det var meget vanskeligt at komme igennem mangrove krattet. Så halvdelen af gruppen valgte ved middagstid at tage tilbage til Malindi by for at spise frokost, mens den anden halvdel fortsatte ud mod havet. Her fik vi set en del vade-,terne- og mågefugle. Frokosten for dette hold var en vandmelon!
Eftermiddagen blev tilbragt ved havnen der foruden de maleriske båd, kunne fremvise en del vadefugle.

23-11-89.
Denne morgen gik turen til Sokoke skoven. Dette lave kystregnskovsområde regnes for et af det afrikanske kontinents bedste og mest bevaringsværdige skovområder. For de fleste af os var det første besøg i denne meget tætte regnskov, en blandet oplevelse. De forreste hyperaktive fik da set nogle meget spændende fuglearter bl.a. et par af de endemiske Sokoke arter. Andre fik faktisk overhovedet ikke set en eneste fugl i denne meget tætte skov, dog fik de fleste set den meget specielle Elefantspidsmus.
Ved middagstid var varmen næsten uudholdelig og vi søgte ud til kysten, hvor vi tilbragte nogen timer i meget smukt beliggende Blue Lagoon Hotel, hvor nogen nød et topklasse måltid, mens andre drak kokosmælk og spiste unge kokosnødder. Eftermiddagen blev brugt ved Gedi ruinerne, der er resterne af det første kendte arabiske bosættelse på den østafrikanske kyst. Gedi ruinerne er fuldstændig tilgroet og er derfor en udmærket fuglelokalitet.  Dog blev Gedi udflugten også brugt til at få indsigt i hvordan et traditionelt  afrikansk landsbysamfund fungere med hierarkier, kønsroller etc. 
Om aftenen spiste vi "hjemme", maden var tilberedt af vores "house boy", som foruden at ordne have, gøre rent på værelserne, vaskede han også vores tøj - helt uopfordret!

24-11-89.
Igen i dag skulle vi besøge Sokoke skoven, denne gang i den anden ende ved Jilore forest station, her var vi igen uheldige med vejret, netop som vi ankom til skoven begyndte det at regne meget kraftigt, så vi måtte sørge ly under et halvtag. Efter regnskyllet begav vi os ind i skoven, som i denne ende var meget forskellige fra det vi så i går og vi så langt flere fugle. Sidst på formiddagen begav vi os ud til det nærliggende sumpområde Jilore Swamp. Området var desværre blevet fuldstændig drænet og opdyrket, da det samtidig begyndte at småregne var der stemning for at tage tilbage til Malindi. Vi spiste frokost i en lille hyggelig restaurant ved havnen. Da det var højvande var det begrænset hvad vi så af vadefugle, dog besluttet halvdelen af gruppen at blive i havneområdet og vente på lavvandet og de medfølgende vadefugle. Den anden halvdel tog tilbage til Sokoke skoven for at finde nogen flere skovfugle og blev der til det blev mørkt i håb om at "spotte" nogen natteravne og den endemiske Sokoke Scops Owl, udbyttet var desværre meget tyndt.

25-11-89.
Vi forlod Malindi tidligt om morgen, vores plan var egentlig at kører igennem Tsavo East National Park, men vejene var stadigvæk så dårlige, at vi var nødsaget til at arbejde os tilbage af den samme vej som vi kom. Ved middagstid nåede vi Tsavo East, som kunne fremvise en del spændende fugle, som et af højdepunkterne var store flokke af Amurfalke, der blevet tvunget ned p.gr. af en regnbyge. Vi sluttede Tsavo East af med et kaffestop på den meget fine Voi Lodge, hvor vi fik set elefanter på meget tæt hold. Sidst på eftermiddagen gik turen så mod vores overnatningssted Hunters Lodge.

26-11-89.
Traditionen tro startede vi med en gåtur i Lodge, men mod sædvane var der kun få med denne morgen, først og fremmest p. gr. af den lange køretur dagen i forvejen, men måske også fordi vi faktisk havde været her en gang før. Efter morgenmaden gik turen videre, den næste lange etape skulle bringe os til Mountain Lodge på Mt. Kenya.

Denne meget specielle og usædvanlig godt beliggende lodge står sikkert for de fleste, som det bedste sted vi boede på turen. Der er en helt speciel stemning på det palisade hotel, der ligger ved et stort vandhul midt i den tætte lavbehængte bjergregnskov. Fra Lodgen tag havde vi et godt overblik over den nærliggende skovtykning, hvor der var mange "nye" farvestrålende fugle.  Ved vandhullet gik dyr som Bushbuck, Waterbuck etc. uforstyrret rundt, vi kunne betragte dem fra vores værelser, taget eller det underjordiske skjul ved vandhullet. Om aftenen sad vi spændt og ventede på, om nogle af de "dyre" arter som leopard, løve, næsehorn, Giant Forest Hog m.fl., som alle jævnligt ses ved vandhullet, ville vise sig. Inden vi gik i seng blev vi skrevet op til at blive vækket til de ovennævnte dyr, hvis de skulle komme i løbet af natten. Desværre var der ikke bonus, men vi fik dog set Large-spotted Genet ved foderbræt og White-tipped Mangoose. Nattelydene med Tree Hyrax, som den dominerende, gav en helt specielt stemning som ikke kan beskrives, den skal opleves.

27-11-89.
Formiddagen blev brugt i lodge-området. Vi var heldige at vejret viste sig fra sin bedste side med sol på Mt. Kenyas sneklædte top, et meget smukt syn. Vi var også heldige og se den meget lille skovantilope Suni, de mest modige som begav sig ud i terrænet så Næsehorn! På turen ned af Mt. Kenya så vi en del fine Hornbills.
Næste stop på turen var Samburu/Buffalo Springs Game Reserve, undervejs kom vi igennem kulturlandskab inden vi nåede det tørre Buffalo Spring GR, hvor der p. gr. af den megen regn var meget grønt og der var mange dyr. Vi blev indkvarteret i Buffalo Springs Tented Camp i permanente telte med faste senge med fin udsigt til det omliggende Akacie savanneland.

28-11-89.
Vi brugte hele dagen på "gamedrive" i Samburu/Buffalo Springs Game Reserve, hvor vi så lokale specialiteter som Gerenuk, Grevys Zebra, Baisa Oryx derudover fik vi set en meget stor flok elefanter. Det er helt sikkert en dag der vil blive husket for de store koncentrationer af de mange arter dyr. 
Om aftenen blev vores krokodiller i baghaven fodret med nogle kæmpekødben som blev kvast og slugt i en mundfuld.

29-11-89.
Allerede tidligt delte vi os op den ene bil brugte det meste af dagen i  Samburu/Buffalo Springs G.R., mens den anden bil efter morgenmaden arbejdede sig sydpå. Da vejret var rimelig godt imodsætning til på vejen op og bilen samtidig skulle på værksted brugte vi lidt tid ved ækvator. Her fik vi set et meget spændende eksperiment, der skulle bevise at vandet løber forskelligt rundt afhængig af om man er  nord eller syd for ækvator. Eksperimentet så meget troværdigt ud og vi var flere, der faktisk troede på at det faktisk kunne ses indenfor plus/minus 10 meter fra ækvator. Eksperimentet troværdighed blev dog betvivlet af flere af turen fagfolk indenfor området og egne forsøg viste, at vi var blevet snydt!
Vores overnatningsted var Naro Moru River Lodge, som lå meget smukt ved Naro Moru floden omkranset skov og blomsterhaver, der tiltrak mange solfugle.

30-11-89.
Første del af dagen blev tilbragt langs Naro Moru floden, hvor en af de fugle vi gerne ville se var den nataktive og sky Africa Black Duck, vi fik set den kanongodt. En anden ting, som gør Naro Moru til et meget fint sted er de tørre græsarealer, som huser flere arter Widow-birds, som vi også fik set meget fint. Først på eftermiddag kørte vi turens korteste strækninger til Outspan Hotel, hvor vi skulle overnatte. Outspan Hotel er et af Kenyas ældste og kendteste hotel. Her fik vi nogle store og meget fine værelser. Maden her var vel den bedste på hele turen, selvom den alle steder var meget fin, var der absolut klasse over Outspan.

01-12-89.
Dette var en af disse dage som mange så hen til, dagen hvor vi skulle kører op over Aberdares, Kenyas tredje højeste bjerg. Vores chauffører var stærk kritisk overfor om det overhovedet var muligt. Da det var i begyndelsen af den lille regntid, derfor er det vanskeligt at kører på disse regnvåde jordveje. Vi var fast besluttet på at det skulle prøves. Den første del af turen var på asfaltvej og vejret så ret stabilt ud, så vi var ved godt mod. Ved parkindgangen ændrede vejen karakter til en mudderpøl, men det skulle prøves med det resultat at vi sad fast og der skulle skubbes..men det var umuligt at fortsætte. Vi måtte vende om og kører uden om Aberdares til Lake Naivasha. Her valgte nogen af os afslapnings sejltur ud på søen, mens den anden gruppe besøgte den meget smukke Hell's Gate National Park.

02-12-89.
Vi brugte morgenen og formiddagen ved søen, både ved Safariland Lodge og Lake Hotel inden turen gik sydpå med Masai Mara som mål. En af turens længste køreture og efterhånden var vi ret trætte af at køre på de dårlige veje. Første delen af turen mod Masai Mara foregik hovedsagelig på asfaltvej, men efter Narok ændre vejen karakter til mest af alt at minde om et vaskebræt. Da der var meget at se undervejs glemte vi efterhånden, hvor elendig vejen faktisk var. Da vi kom ind i parken valgte den ene bil at køre direkte mod vores hotel, det navnkundige Keekorok Logde. Den anden bil praktiseret lidt "gamedrive" og her lykkedes det, at få set et par løver, så stemningen var høj, da der kunne prales overfor den anden bil, som dog havde set en del fugle i haven og den smukke lille kat Serval. Vi sluttede dagen af med at nyde den særprægede masai dans, som en lille gruppe mænd fremviste på hotellet efter aftensmaden.

03-12-89.
Hele dagen blev brugt i Masai Mara og det meste af tiden på "gamdrive". Dagen bød på flere højdepunkter, her skal bl.a. nævnes at det ene hold var ude og gå ved Hippo pools, hvor alt var fredeligt, indtil der pludselig kom en safaribil kørerne og fortalt at ikke langt fra os lå der et par løver, så gik der småpanik i gruppen og nogle småløb direkte tilbage til bilen. Sikkert inde i bilen kørte vi så hen for at se på de farlige løver, som lå og småsov i buskadset. Ved frokostbordet var stemningen helt i top og der blev udvekslet oplevelser gruppen imellem. Lige inden vi skulle starte vores eftermiddagstur kom der en lille byge, men afsted kom vi, den ene bil sad på et tidspunkt fast på en af småvejene. Den anden bil stoppede for at vente og chaufføren fra denne bil gik over for at hjælpe. Alt imens dette skete opdagede man i den ene bil en Leopard, der gik rundt på tæt hold. Den anden bil fik desværre ikke set leoparden og her var der mest stemning for kører tilbage til lodgen, da alle havde fået nok af at sidde fast. Men så mødte vi en safaribil, som kunne melde om næsehorn, så vente stemningen og alle kørte efter næsehornet. Vi fandt næsehornet, som endda var blevet til en voksen med unge, så stemningen var helt i toppen og da vi igen fandt leoparden, med bytte i et træ nåede det næsten ekstatiske højder, selv chaufførerne var helt i hopla og talte om det utrolige i "the big five" på en dag!

04-12-89.
Igen startede vi meget tidligt og vi delte os op i to grupper, den ene gik en tur i den nærliggende lund og den anden foretog lidt gamedrive. Gruppen som foretog gamedrive støtte på en meget stor flok bøfler, det var et prægtig syn, at se disse store dyr kom løbende hen over det tørre savannegræs. Efter  at have nydt dette syn et stykke tid kastede vi interessen på en vibe, men pludselig blev der råbt: "der kommer en bøffel efter os". På førersædet tog man denne meldingen ganske rolig, men da det pludseligt blev råbt meget højt, kom der gang i chaufføren, som trådte så hårdt på speederen, at et kamera, der lå i frontruden røg ned mellem pedalerne, panik-panik. Da vi kom lidt på afstand af bøflen kunne vi se at den var ramt af en pil og kort efter faldt den om, næsten samtidig kom en jeep kørerne med en gruppe forskere, der øremærkede dyret og gav den noget modgift.
Efter frokost gik turen nordpå mod Nakuru søen en lang tur hvor vi bl.a. undervejs skulle krydse Enangiperi Pass. Dagens køretur var nok turens hårdeste, bl.a. fordi vejen var utrolig dårlig og som en stressfaktor trak det op til regnvejr og begyndte det først at regne ville vejen være vanskelige at kører på. Heldigvis begyndte det først at regne da det værste vejstykke var overstået, så vi slap med en lille tur i grøften og en mindre omvej. Vi ankom til Nakuru sidst på eftermiddagen og selv fra hovedvejen i regnvej, lyste den lyserøde bræmme af flamingoer op, som var det jordbæris.

05-12-89.
Hele dagen blev tilbragt i Nakuru området, hvor de to millioner flamingoer skulle nydes og det blev de, det var et fantastisk syn, med oplevelsen fra udsigtspunktet Baboon cliffs, hvor vi kunne se næsten hele søen og hvor der var flamingoer næsten hele vejen rundt, et ubeskrivelig syn som bare skal opleves. Nakuru er andet og mere end de omkring 2,5 mio. flamingoer, her var store mængder af pelikaner, skarver etc. samt mange dyr.

06-12-89.
Vi brugte tiden ind til frokosten til at sige farvel til disse lækre flamingoer, men her sneg sig endnu en stor dyreoplevelse ind som dagens hovedoplevelse. På vejen gennem parkens Akacie skovområde opdagede vi pludselig en Leopard på jorden ganske tæt på bilen. Leoparden gik stille og rolig rundt, men desværre havde den forreste af vores biler ikke set dyret, så vores chauffører anbefalede, at en af os gik af ud bilen, for så ville leoparden straks flygte op i et træ og så kunne den anden bil hentes. Desværre var leoparden ikke særlig samarbejdsvillig den løb væk, så alle fik desværre ikke set den.
Efter frokost gik turen videre nordpå til Lake Baringo, her blev vi indkvarteret på Baringo Club, som ligger meget smukt ned til søen. En tur rundt i haven gav den obligatoriske Spotted Eagle Owl på klodshold, desuden White-faced Scops Owl og mange andre gode ting.

07-12-89. 
Vi startede dagen med en tidlig morgentur i lodgehaven og langs søbredden. Efter frokost kørte vi op til det nærliggende tørre Akacie område med de røde lodrette  klippeformationer. Her fik vi foruden at se en række tørlandsspecialiteter også mærket den tørre varme, som trak vand ud af os. For de fleste tog det mod fra, at udforske det selvsamme område senere på eftermiddagen. Om aftenen gik vi ned til søbredden og ventede på at det skulle blive mørke, vi havde en forhåbning om at se de smukke og svære Lichtenssteins Sandgrouse. Vi var heldige, der kom flere småflokke som vi fik set i skumringen.

08-12-89.
Denne sidste feltdag skulle gå med et besøg til det meget tørre område omkring den lille by Kapedo, der ligger et godt stykke fra Baringo af dårlig vej. Undervejs nordpå gjorder vi stop ved flere tørre wadier, hvor vi gik småture i håb om at se nogle af lokale halvørken fugle. Selve Kapedo er kendt for at huse den meget lokale Somali Sparrow, men den var desværre ikke til at finde. I det hele taget var området lidt af en skuffelse, der var også sket en betragtelig befolkningstilvækst i forhold til tidligere. Et lyspunkt var dog at vi kunne købe flot håndlavede kurve og bordskåner.
Den sidste aften skulle vi rigtig hygge os, her skal kun nævnes, at der blev af vores video-Kaj fremvist et meget fint one-man show i, hvordan man løber fra en flodhest!

09-12-89.
Den sidste morgen blev tilbragt på en dejlig afstressende sejltur på Lake Baringo og med afslapning i haven. Først på eftermiddagen gik vi til bils for at kører til Nairobi, som betød hjemrejse for de fleste, dog blev en lille sej gruppe en uge ekstra.
