Nairobi Campgrounds - Reviews and Rates

Jambo! So as a continuation from the last time I wrote, I wanted to quickly point out some key lessons I have learnt so far here in Nairobi:

1. African weddings are amazing. Canadians take note (although they do not consume copious amounts of alcohol, sing karaoke, or drop their sisters on the floor while dipping them *ahem* Steffers!). <...

Where to start? I never expected to have such a wonderful time on safari. More sitting after Zanzibar felt like some sort of punishment, but man was I wrong!

We started out of Nairobi on Friday with one of our first stops being the East African Mission Orphanage. Seeing Jayne meet her sponsored child was unbelievable. How many people ever...

Hello all! I had another overnight flight to Nairobi. I haven't slept much in the last two days. The tour company picked me and another girl up at the airport. We get a free night in a hotel before the safari starts tomorrow. After checking in, I took a 7 hour nap. Guess I needed to sleep. I met the safari group and leader at our meeting. The gr...

Nairobi Part 2.

Having been to Kericho and Mombasa, I returned to Nairobi for one final night before leaving for Johannesburg. This list is short and sweet as I was only there for one action packed day and night!

In no particular order…

20,000 miles + 46 hours + 5 airports + 4 planes + 1 crazy kenyan taxi ride = 2 tired travellers. But we have made it in one piece, including 2 backpacks, which we always think will get lost... so we have clothes for the next 6 weeks. The flights over were pretty good - non eventful. Our longest section from Singapore to Johannesburg was only hal...

Wow! You will never look at a zoo the same way, after you have been on safari.

I have written these travelpods whenever I can, wherever I can, desperately trying to get it all down and documented before the vividness of these incredible experiences leaves my head. As a result I have left some of you confused, and some of you not even knowing where the heck I am. So, I'm just going to put a very quick, point form summary of...

Today is the first day of the high level sessions. This means that the Ministers are here now and some heavy duty hashing out is about to begin. The day began with a red carpet being laid out from the main entrance, all the way outside, down the stairs, around the corner and into the two main meeting rooms. With all of these sudden tropical rain...

GPS Coordinates: S 01°12'54.6" E 036°48'37.0" Temperature: 24.5°C Humidity: 57.4 % Pressure: 83.3 kPa Altitude: 1614 m (Getting closer to the Equator, I can feel it!) Finally, and with some relief, I left Zanzibar to fly to Nairobi where I would stay at a friends place for a few days. Special Hello and Thanks! to Rocky and Mary for their great h...

Going to try for a brief blog entry! I know you will all be relieved so here goes... After rafting in Uganda, we crossed the border back into Kenya and I spent a long day on the truck feeling ill, arrived at the campsite and crawled into my tent and remained there until wake up the next morning, when felling better, we got to Lake Nakuru Nationa...
