We flew into Nairobi and were feeling a little anxious because of all the crime stories we have heard from travellers. We stayed at the Norfolk Hotel (a Fairmont property) and famous because 'Out of Africa's' Karen Blixen used to stay here. 'Gentlemen' used to sit on the verandah and shoot animals in the swamp across the road. It was a luxurious start to the trip. I was surprised how much English is spoken here and all of the signs are in English. There are 42 tribes in Kenya and most people ...

So we had a great flight and made it into Nairobi at 5:00 AM. Our nice driver, Laurence, picked us up and had champagne and safari hats to welcome us. We slept most of the day in the great old colonial styled Norfolk Hotel. We really enjoyed the hot bath and air conditioning. We went with the driver to pick up Nancy, Mom and Dad at the airport that evening. It was great seeing them, the last time we saw them was when we left the US September more than a year ago. We chatted excitedly as we dr...

This morning after breakfast, and after seeing off the dental team with our best wishes, Dr. Kirkpatrick, Mr. Mundeli and I headed to the airport for the flight to Nairobi, the first leg of our trip back home. Before leaving us, Mr. Mundeli presented Dr. Kirkpatrick with a Rwandan shepherd's cane as a thank-you gift for his visit and his service in the area both through his sermon, his advice on the possible dental supply project as well as his ongoing assistance in the Good Works projects in...

Took an easy bus ride up to Nairobi to visit my friend Kevin Boherer, a friend from Mauritania, it was long but I knew I could rest once I got there. I met Chris Snipes at the Norfolk hotel...he was also in Mauritania(coming inas I was going), and I hadn't seen him in 17 years!!! He was also there to visit Kevin from his 'adjudicating' work in the US embassy in Poland. We were whisked off to a restaurant by Kevin's driver Benjamin while we waited to 'pick' Kevin from the embassy at the end of...

... think but I've been around and I know money talks. I have been vaccinated in the past for it so it wouldn't be like I was spreading the stuff. Or go to a hospital in Nairobi and pick one up there. I decided to give my tour leader a call and ask what the deal was with it and he said that I needed it in order to get into a few different countries or else they wouldn't let me in. Again **** I thought! I asked where I could get one and he said the airport ...

So I arrived in Nairobi and went to the hotel where my tour starts and expected to be able to get a room for the night but it was fully booked. I eventually ended up in this dodgy hotel where there were no other westerners and everyone was looking at me.<br><br>Met with tour group and headed to the Masai Mara where we saw every african ...

... a sign that this girl probably didn't have any prenatal care or education. She hadn't even named the baby, I think because she was scared that he wasn't going to survive. <br><br>Both Emily and I picked up some cold from somewhere along the way, who knows where, and rather than spread it around some more, we decided to wrap it up on Thursday and took Friday off to lay low and prepare for our trip home. It was much needed.<br><br>On Saturday we ...

... of driving over 80kph. They charged him a bunch of money anyway, which I hear from our host brothers is pretty typical for Kenyan police, who are pretty much just looking for a bribe. But in the end, we made it home safe and sound and we promised John that we’d recommend him to anyone we know going on safari!<br><br>When we arrived back home yesterday, our host father Joseph informed us that they hadn’t gotten water at all while we were ...
