Lake Magadi

A couple of hours` drive from Nairobi is a beautiful soda lake, Lake Magadi, a popular place among flamingoes. You don´t need to worry about being cold here, that´s for sure!

Maasai women were waiting in the shade not far from the hot springs*, and they came out as soon as they saw our car coming, eager to sell their Maasai beaded jewellery.
A self-appointed guide was also very available.
Lunch in the shade of an acacia tree is compulsory on an excursion like this. Audience is hard to avoid, though, even though we went to a different place than where our guide had told us to go, but we were happy to share some water with the young boys in the heat.
*Hei Oddvar og Elin: Vi var bare et par hundre meter ifra i fjor, men bare slapp av - det var ikke store greiene vi gikk glipp av. Var ikke engang verdt et bilde :o)
