These little birds were very interested in us and even dashed
into our tent a few times for a look around.

On the way down...
Leaving Old Moses Camp at 3300 meters in elevation, we left of the moor lands, that had stretch up toward the mountain top, and descended back through the belt of bamboo thickets and down into the forest of Cedars and Podocarpus trees, a good 8 km hike back to our van at the park gate. This part of the hike is where hikers often see Elephant and Cape Buffalo, but we only encountered a few bush buck on our ascent. While it would have been amazing too meet an elephant on the trail, we were glad that we made it through without any trouble.
By the time we walked back to the main gate we were all ready for a quick lunch at Nanyuki, and getting home for a hot shower and our soft beds back in Nairobi. It was an incredible trip. we are so thankful to our guides and porters who made the trek so enjoyable.
