Mount Kilimanjaro

Thomas - kilimanjaro is three volcanoes, two small ones and one big one in the middle. It is a fantastic mountain. When we went to the foothills it was raining and cloudy so we couldn't really see it but when we got to Amboseli national park the sun came out and we had a great view of it. Daddy showed us lots of old lava so we knew it was a volcano.

Amboseli National Park is in Kenya. We saw lots of hyena and some lions. There were loads of zebra and wildebeest too. Whilst we were there we went to see a Masai Village. The houses were amazing because they were made out of mud and sticks. They were really dark inside. Their houses made a circle around the middle where they kept their animals. They showed us how to make fire by rubbing two sticks together. When the children are 5 years old they make a mark on their cheeks and bathe it to help them see a long way. They did a wlcome dance and prayer when we arrived. It was really interesting and different from anything else we have seen so far.
