What's that about Nairobi?

My plan was very clear. Gotta check some local tour operators in town. Get my Yellow fever shot. See the sights. And find an alternate place to stay. We took the side street to the main road and hopped on the CitiHoppa. 30 shillings to town.. not bad. Anne told me how Zipporah had cornered her and told her she couldnt just go around making friends with anybody she bloody well felt like. This is business, warned Zipporah menacingly. And you're ruining it. Wow! Pretty cut-throat. I had never mo...

Arriving in Kenya

Ok, so arriving in Nairobi: My luggage was lost, and currently I have no clothes, and my ride was missing and was bombarded by several "taxi drivers" who insisted not for me to go with the others because they were trying to rob me. I felt the adrenaline pumping and the anxiety rising. Some guy in a suit handed me a cell phone, and insisted he was from Backpackers, the hostel I was staying at. On the other line, was Georgina, the girl who was supposed to pick me up. And normally, i wouldn't ha...

Cold Nairobi

Day the Twenty-second - in which we mostly sleep and nothing of interest happens. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Got a taxi to the Nairobi Youth Hostel. Pretty pricey, especially as there was no hot water. Nairobi is overcast and chilly. Cold shower - brrrr! At least we feel clean now. Heeding warnings about Nairobi [or Nairobbery] we walked into town with nothing on us except what we needed to change money. It seems safe enough to me. Sure at night it's probably not, but during the day everyone around seems...

Nairobi Part 2, Kenya Best and Worst Bits

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…

Best Bits:

- Leaving trip to Carnivore restaurant and making sure I got every meat available including crocodile and ostrich!
- Getting my hair done with five colours in my hair despite being told it couldn't be done!
-...

I will be living in the rescue hostel with the runaway girls.. its going to be crazy, exciting, ackward and amazing all at the same time. I am going to have my own room in the hostel but its right in the center of the girls' cubicals. There ar...

The final destination

... also has one baby rhino which was also very cute, but due to their aggresive nature it wasn't brought too near the visitors.<br><br>We spent the afternoon relaxing at our campsite before heading to the airport and the final flight of my 5 month trip. I couldn't believe it had gone so fast, although I was looking forward to getting home and seeing everyone as well as not living out of a backpack anymore!

Not even close to a tourist city

... was 8 hours long so we had a long time wedged in sardine class. We arrived around 9pm at Nairobi airport and clearing immigration was excruciatingly long and took over an hour. We got through and the hostel had sent a taxi for us so we were relieved to not have to haggle for transport. Nairobi at after 10pm was eerie as the streets were deserted near where we were staying. It is known for robberies and crime so people stay off the streets at night. Arriving at the hostel we ...

The Time Is Here...

... to thank everyone for your support; without you, this would not have been possible for me. The e-mails and comments I have received have been inspiring and much appreciated. It will be sad to board the plane tonight, but I will return home with more experience, awareness, and compassion, as well as new priorities in life. <br>

Masai Mara Rocks My World!

... and early Sunday morning doing the same. I think we arrived just before high season is about to start, because there were far fewer tourists than I&#8217;ve seen in the past. There were also tons of animals everywhere; we could hardly drive 5 minutes without running into a family of elephants or a pride of lions. My favorite part was Saturday morning, when we came across 2 cheetahs eating the gazelle they&#8217;d just killed. They were literally ...
