Lake Bogoria

this is where the camp was held, what turned out to be the camp to end all camps! we slept in the jungle, bathed in the morning in hot water springs (actually any free time we had when we were not meant to be doing something, or when we were...), climbed trees, hiked... it was amazing.
there were 80 of us, aged 18 to 35 maybe so we split into four groups for duties such as cooking, firewood etc. one day we roasted a whole goat! it was hung from one of the trees as the men skinned it!
all usual rules get abandoned on camp, here people are normally pretty conservative about what they wear but on camp people go around in what they want, god job as it was SO HOT! we also went swimming at a pool one day, not a particular highlight for me as that is something that is fairly 'normal' eh? but here it is a REAL treat and people don't go often, i was surprised to find out that half the camp could not actually swim! at all! so those of us that could did, we played games, danced and threw a ball around, it was great fun.
in the lake there is actual hot water springs spurting up, the water is so hot that it burns your hands (i tried! never want to be the gelable one) and there are zebras, dickdicks (yes that did cause alot of laughs especially among the lads) and some other wild animals, a pretty amazing place to have a camp!
we played games; truth or dare and other campfire ones but my fave was 'letter auction' where all teams have 200KSH and have to auction for letters then make words with them- the aim being to make as many words as possible- our team won with a grand total of 138! there was also 'secret friend' where everyone's names are in a hat, you take one and write letters to that person for that week then at the end they get revealed. pretty funny seeing people find out!
then we also had a fashion show on the last night: casual, beach, work, evening, traditional and creative wear. i modeled casual and beach, won no prizes but had a fab time!
so by the end no-one wanted to leave but everyone was much in need of some sleep.
