Nairobi Ranches - Reviews and Rates

I'm on my way home; that’s always a great feeling. The three of us from Cincinnati met in the breakfast room at 7:30, so we could be ready to roll at 8:00. Rwandan coffee is excellent; not to be missed by java enthusiasts, so I took full advantage of it one last time.

Jean-Marie, Mr. Mundeli and James were all there on time; we loa...

I arrived safely in Nairobi after the typical cross-Atlantic fiesta of multiple balanced meals smelling of starch and curry and dozens of poor movies. Shane and Kara Gauthier had a room set up for me, and I quickly fell asleep. The next few days brought metal work; welding, cutting, buying, and grinding. Most of this 'went down' at Shane's offic...

We left Nairobi at about 9 in the morning on Sunday, with a five hour drive through the country to the Masai Mara. We travelled through the slums in Nairobi which was a bit of an eye opener. The roads in parts were just dust - I'm covered in the stuff. Our driver Abdul was obviously very experienced, but it's still scary over here. We drove to t...

I have suddenly been inflicted with insominia. I cant understand why I cant get one good night of sleep anymore. I woke up at 2 am - wide awake. For 2 hours, I just read some material I had on Tanzania and Slovenia to help me fall asleep. It did the trick - but it took 2 hours. I woke up at 7:30 am and prepared my backpack for my flight out of A...

14 April - Ephrim drove us to the airport this morning during the resumed business flowing into the streets as a new week begins. Our flight to Kenya was on an aging jet with fading paint. The interior was worn and the fold down trays on the seatbacks in front of us had been torn off. As the plane taxied and took off, the pilot showed a percepti...

Well, I know I just posted like no time ago, but for the most part, that entry was written over a week ago, and it also doesn't say much about what I'm doing, and lots and lots has happened in the last two weeks. Lots of good and lots of bad. I think it's customary to start with the bad so that you can end with the good, but I think if I took th...

Today was a travel day. I had a very early breakfast and checked out at 07:00. Jacob and Justin were at the hotel promptly at 07:30. I had gone over their budget for the Feast of Tabernacles and gave them the assistance they needed to complete what they lacked. We also discussed some issues of church organization particularly how the annual fest...

...or so I thought when I got back from a spot of shopping downtown Nairobi (v un-posh) and the bike was well and truly gone. You would have thought that 4 years in LBHF with myriad parking tickets, tows, clamps etc would have made me a bit more cautious but no. I got towed by the City Council.

Today we travelled to a small tea farm outside of Nairobi. It was a nice change. While there we received a whole history lesson tea in Kenya, and tea in general. Apparenly there are only two varieties of tea plant. We had some tea before leaving on a walk with one of the guys working on the tea farm. He took us down the road and was explaining v...

Ok.. this is ANOTHER LONG ONE folks, so, instead of frequent short updates - methinks they will be LONG rambles as to catch up to the lack of accessible internet.. and I sure do love talking ;).. soooo... Well... I am still hanging out here in Nairobi. It has definitely been a culture shock of many sorts. I thought that I could handle all differ...
