Chameleon in Karura forest


Saturday morning we took a trip to Karura forest, a protected area between our place and Rosslyn.  The boys were ecstatic to find their first African chameleon - "Trioceros jacksonii", they identified it by memory.  It was a gorgeous animal, we all were enthralled by it!  We also saw lots of new birds (Bee-eaters were especially beautiful), and a dik-dik (small antelope/deer).  The forest is a great place in the city and not too far to drive for us, part of the legacy of Wangari Maathai, the well known Kenyan activist and Nobel prize winner.  We anticipate making lots of trips there!
