Today we're heading back to Nairobi as we're flying to Addis Ababa on Wednesdays. We weren't originally planning on visiting Ethiopia during this trip as we weren't up for the bureaucracy involved in getting a visa and also the added distance. Being so close, however, we started looking at prices for flights. It is obviously [...]

We got up early and had breakfast with the Aucamps. Today they're visiting one of the Yasha Ministry schools and we're going with. We offered to drive with our vehicle and more people came in another one. The other car overheated after about 2km so in the end it was just our car with 5 [...]

This time we remembered to set an alarm and woke up at 06:00. Sometime during the night a vehicle dropped off a female ranger and the two proceeded to talk loudly late into the night. Caro was luckily blissfully unaware of this, otherwise there would have been big trouble. Before we got up a vehicle [...]

We didn't hear any lions during the night, only hippopotamus. A strong wind was however blowing all night dampening most other sounds. We forgot to set an alarm and only got up at 08:00. We quickly packed up and saw a safari vehicle passing us. While eating breakfast we saw the vehicle standing still on [...]

Caro set an alarm for 06:00, but as it still looked pitch black outside we snoozed until 06:30. We quickly got up and just put on warm clothes.

After a few kilometers we saw giraffe next to the road with sheep herders walking behind them. We reached Emali on the Mombasa-Nairobi highway by 09:00. We tried to look [...]

We first headed back to Milan’s Restaurant as we wanted more Paneer Samosas, but unfortunately they did have any that early in the morning. We then bought some beef samosas at another place which wasn’t as good. After using the last of our [...]
