Jambo Everyone! Well FINALLLY! I am here. After a ten hour layover in DC a seven hour plane ride to Zurich and then another 7 hour plane ride to Nairobi! I still cant actually believe that I am here. I met the coolest girl in Zurich Irma, where we both only had 45 minutes to get to our gate and get checked in to our Nairobi flight. She is from the netherlands, so at least she could communicate for us as we high tailed it. When we got to security, they took EVERYTHING out of my camera bag (and...
Nairobi, Kenya annaeliseI also wondered why ever country that I've been to mentions how their sense of time is much more laid back. Compared to who? Perhaps it's just America that is faster, but even Kenyans admit that time is slow here. I could definitely agree with some of the experiences I've had with customer service. The cafeteria people at USIU are the most apathetic employees I've met. When you approach the cashier, you say what you want off a ten item white board. Always the same items: chicken, rice, beans,...
Nairobi, Kenya groffpSleep abruptly ended at 3:30am when our bodies' internal clocks decided it was time to be awake. After a bus and a short train ride we were back at Heathrow Airport where we ate breakfast and boarded another 747 for Nairobi, Kenya. The skies were clearer for viewing without the heavy haze that often hangs over this route. Steve and Sylvia were intrigued by the sights over Sicily, Libya and Sudan. A darkening sky gradually swallowed the unlit wilds of Ethiopia off to the east. Even towering Mt...

Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya safarikingJambo - hello in the native language. First impressions, the flight was incredibly long. I don't think I've sat still that long in well...ever. When we were flying into Nairobi, I was surprised how dark the sky was. Unlike all of the airports I've visited, when we approached, we couldn't see the city. More or less, it was completely dark. The ride to the hotel was my chance to experience Kenyan transportations. Let's just say, the roads are a little rough. Our driver call it a "free massage" ...
Nairobi, Kenya vhruby
... Africa journey. Three continents down, two to go! I leave you with a few videos from our journeys (unfortunately this site won't recognize any taken on our actual high quality video camera, so these are all very low quality videos from the our little digital camera). Although I narrate most of these Gabe thankfully corrects the details. He does all the video for us on this trip so it's pretty bad when I grab the camera and attempt it.<br><br ...
Nairobi, Kenya claraz8... my big camera to my PC since I have different memory cards than my other camera(of course). So I put that on my list of things to get for the day. I also heard that there was a memorial for the US Embassy bombing of 1998 in the city. So I set out late morning after receiving some instructions and was doing some thinking on the walk. I was thinking how I will really enjoy this trip and really take a lot out back home with me. Seeing a place in a movie ...
Nairobi, Kenya travel_lover87... overwhelmed and can not efficiently handle the number of visitors coming to Africa via Nairobi. Our flight with over 400 passengers, a lot of whom who are working with education facilities, churches or church groups, arrived at the same time as a flight from London's Heathrow airport and another from Dubai. There were already other flights from Johannesburg and Zanzibar being processed. That said, the staff ...
Nairobi, Kenya boydandrose... Indian ocean, jumping off to snorkle with the fish when it got too hot - what's not to like?!<br><br>Our first glimpse of wildlife on a cycling safari in Hellsgate National Park<br>My fave thing so far! Katy and I hired bikes at the safari park 2 hours south of Nairobi and cycled our way through the park to a gorge, spotting zebras, antelopes, warthogs and giraffes along the way. It was brilliant. The wildlife, beautiful landscape and the fact ...
Nairobi, Kenya jojoportobello... overland trip on a truck from Nairobi to Capetown, South Africa and we have booked a 6 day safari leaving Saturday so all good. This done we have a few days here in Nairobi and to be honest we are not the least interested in seeing any more than we have already. So dear readers I will bypass the next 2 days as all we did was rest , shop for supplies to replenish our packs and prepare our finances by internet and check emails etc and eat which is a hit and miss affair here ...
Nairobi, Kenya kasnsqueak... mothers and babies when we arrived Tuesday morning, and I have to say their system functions much more smoothly than Makina’s! Each mother is given a card on which they monitor their baby’s health progress – it has the dates of all the vaccinations they need to come in for on one side, with a graph on the back where the baby’s monthly weights are charted. This clinic was equipped with a much bigger freezer than Makina, so we were able to vaccinate for TB ...
