A world apart

After a hair raising journey on an overnight bus with very dodgy suspension we were picked up at about 7am by family friends Janet and Bernard we headed through and off the island of Mombasa to a suburb north of the city, Nyali.
Janet and Bernard were excellent hosts (and tour guides) and took us to Fort Jesus and the Old Town. It was extremely picturesque with little craft shops along the narrow streets, each with the shop owner hassling you to get you in to see their wares.

Nairobi to Bungoma

Hey everyone, It's been a crazy two days. Friday night I met up with one of my old students at the campsite in Nairobi. She and another teacher were finished with their experience and were on their way back home. Same with another volunteer who had just finished her safari. I can't believe this will be the second time I'm in Kenya and no safari. Oh well, I have a feeling I will be back soon. Anyway, we talked for a while and then went to bed. Two nights in a row I woke up and could ...

The Last Week at Camp Kenya

... it was a very dark colour and they said is was extremely poisoness, so as bad as I felt for it being beaten to death, I was glad it was dead than free in the camp to get us! Friday was the very last day with Camp Kenya. I had to leave by 8 which was quite annoying as the others didn't have to till 4pm (they were all getting the overnight flight home from Nairobi). We had a last breakfast and said our goodbyes - very sad - before I left for the airport. I had to leave so early, even ...

Chanukeni Orphanage and Food Relief

... angry. The women were washing the mark off their hands to try and get more food, and it was working. As wrong as this was, we couldnt really blame them for it - they all have large families and children to feed. So then we handed food out to the men. We stopped at various villages on the way back to hand out more food. We were told that the 1800 packets of food that we had handed out, would help to feed 45000 people. Pretty impressive! We all slept on the journey ...

... a few more visits to Mathari and Kibera Slums to meet with some youth groups, families, schools, and women's groups there. We also had a big conference with some students and organizations in Nairobi during that week to talk about internship and masters programs as well. It was pretty exciting because there was one organization there, Maji na Ufanisi, that I knew from the first week being there. We had had some lectures at the University of Nairobi from a ...

Game Drives

... total there was more than 14 made up of cubs and lioness. They were no more then 10 feet away (3m) lazing around and not paying us any attention. Most were facing away from us and we were thinking "if they just turned around..!" All of a sudden one of the pride stood up and was fixated on something. The rest of the adult pride then took notice and so did we. We were about to witness a hunt. They had spotted a warthog in the distance..... We need ...

... aboard our overland truck and headed in the direction of Uganda. We saw monkeys and zebras by the side of the road. We stopped off at Rift Valley view point to look over the plain before heading to a rest stop to have lunch and then on to Lake Nakura National Park. We went on an evening safari ride on the truck and seen 2 of "The Big Five". A white rhino and the ...

Something inside so strong.

... be stamped out of Tanzania, relieved of 50 dollars and stamped into Kenya. Our first stop was to be Diani, near Mombassa, on the coast of Kenya. A few days relaxing on the beach had been planned to unwind after several months teaching in Arusha. The Tandori Guest House in Diani is above a loud roadside bar, and comes recommended in Lonely Planet. The bar is festooned in red and yellow fluorescent bulbs, with several "working" girls parading the pool table. Judging by the ...
