Kakamega Forest, Hippo Point and the Impala Sanctuary

Last Saturday, I went to Kakamega Forest. Kakamega Forest is the oldest forest in all of Africa and once, it covered all of eastern Africa and we took a tour though it! We saw three different types of monkeys, the Colobus, the Blue and the Red-Tailed monkey.
there are actually 4 types of monkeys in the forest, there is also the Sykes monkeys but we didn't see any of them in the forest, we saw them at the impala park, which I'll tell you about later. The monkeys live in groups of up to 40 and they mix, as in, there can be a colobus and a blue monkey in the same pack. Also, we saw lotan of types of trees. there were lots of trees like Fig trees and Eldon teak trees and Red and White stink trees.The Fig trees eat other trees by growing in and around it. There was also a tree that is really wide at the bottom and the baboons pound on it like a drum! Some of the tree live to be up to 400 years old! They also have a butterfly conservatory which is part of their education program.
After Kakamega, we went to Hippo Point, on lake Victoria. Once there, we went on a very long boat(which had a leak in it, so we had to keep bail it out), we saw three hippos, the parents and there young. It was really cool but I didn't I didn't get to see them open their mouth. We also went to a fishing village to look at the fish that they caught and I learned that there is a very big fishthat isn't supposed to be there and it is eating all the smaller native fish.
after that, we went to the Impala Sanctuary. They had lots of different animals like leopards, cheetahs, lions, hyenas, baboons, ostriches and bison. They also had wild impalas and Sykes monkeys. One of the female Sykes monkeys was carrying a baby monkey and I went over to it but it ran away and a big male jumped out of a tree and ran towards me like he was going to attack me!
