Hiking in Hell's Gate

I went hiking yesterday in Hell's Gate National Park, just about an hour outside of Nairobi.  Besides being very pretty, there are zebras and antelope and warthogs and baboons, and other animals which we didn't see.  And it's a volcanic area, so there are hot springs and steam vents, which I've never seen before.


The zebras were just hanging out by the side of the road.



Steam vents.  Our guide Hassan carried a stick for fighting off baboons, just in case.  But we didn't see any until we got back to the car.  We did see hyena tracks, though.  Luckily we were following it instead of the other way around!
