Crazy Christmas, I was able to upload some photos (Christmas in Kenya photo gallery), trying to upload a video of Lucy's village but internet is too slow! In any case, I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

After a long and very bumpy jouney we arrived in the Masai Mara. On our way to the Kicheche camp we encountered a Cheetah, just lazing under a tree. She let us get very close and was just stunning. After that the game watching was looking good. The ... Read more >

Maybe the biggest problem with traveling to thirteen countries in fourteen months is that things happen so fast and furiously that you sometimes barely get a moment to get any of it down on paper. Since we left the KAASO school in Uganda, we spent a ... Read more >

The first leg of my overland trip finished in Nairobi. Before we got to Nairobi though we did the Masai Mara, which surpassed all my expectations. Maybe because we saw 4 of the big 5 in the first morning game drive we did. Test - which are the animals ... Read more >

That is what I think I did the most during my week in Mombasa, eat! The food here, both local and east african is so good, and the fact that all the meat is halaal is a bonus even for an indifferent meat eater like me! We also had quite a few friends ... Read more >

Although it's a long bus ride to get to Mombasa, it's an overnight trip so you don't lose any days travelling which is cool. Also, you don't have to pay for accommodation for that night so it's a good idea all round. (if you can sleep) The ride was ... Read more >

The alarm goes off at 5:30am and it's beginning to get light outside. We leave the room around 6:15am, after locking our bags and moving them away from all windows. After a quick cup of coffee we hop in the van with the Australian couple. (Bobbi and ... Read more >

We arrive at the lodge, Mara Hippo Tented Camp, around 4pm. It's a nice lodge on the edge of the Mara entrance. It has the works: pool, bar, resturant, tents, cabins, stone lodges. Only things it's missing are, people. The place is pretty empty, but ... Read more >

We decided to spend a week at Diani beach to save money as we figured if we just sit on the beach for a few days we won't incur too many expenses. Our first night we stay in a beach cottage that is 50 meters from the sea. We get there late and it's ... Read more >

After an exciting safari ride, we head back to the Hippo lodge to drop off Aziz and Bobbi, then George drives us down the road to our campsite. By now it's turned dark and all we see are a few lights faintly illuminating 30 tents. As George stops ... Read more >

We paid a bit more money to stay in a room with a television. I wanted to be sure to see as much coverage of this historic election as I could. Because we are 8 hours behind America, we were able to spend the day at the beach and watch CNN at night.... Read more >

We arrived in Kericho a couple of hours ago. It's a community that basically revolves around these huge tea plantations. It's absolutely beautiful ... imagine rolling hills of finely manicured tea fields as far as you can see. We're camping at a place ... Read more >
