Nairobi Wildlife park
provides and orphanage for wild animals - animals that are mainly rescued
from poaching. Paying our US$8 we entered the orphanage expecting a
totally difference experience to what we saw. Caged behind high
fences, we spent a depressed half hour walking around the cages looking at
depressed animals. More a zoo than orphanage, these poor animals
will never be re-introduced into the wild as they have become to
human-dependent for daily food.
As a foreign
paying visitor we were allowed to enter the cage with the Cheetahs. The
three females placidly lay about briefly glancing towards the gate as the
warden entered with us. Always magical touching these feline
animals!!
