We stayed in the holiday Inn for our first night in Kenya. The hotel was lovely - clean, friendly, comfortable, good facilities, excellent food and most important of all, drinking water!
We asked about venturing into town as we had a day to waste before setting off on safari. Our query was met with surprise and we realised hat this was obviously not the done thing! We soon found out why! We were probably the only British people out on the streets and as a result we attracted much attention (not all enjoyable). We were guided (for commission) around the markets and enjoyed some amazingly beautiful wood carvings etc.
We spent a week on safari by the end of which we wished for our time all over again. It was the most unforgettable experience of my life.
We went in August; at the time of the wildebeest migration and found that the park was not short of predators keeping an eye open for weaklings among the many thousands of migrating animals. WE SAW EVERYTHING!! It really was unbelievable! Our driver went out of his way to find every rare sight that we were enough to experience! Some highlights were: lions with their cubs, two cheetah brothers lazing in the shade of a tree meters away from us, a leopard, herds of elephants marching in the sunshine against a dark rainbow striped sky....the list goes on!
Lodges were out of this world- everything you could dream for! Amazing food, hospitality...etc
Destination 3: Mombassa
This was used as a recovery period from those early morning starts on safari! Unfortunately the town is similar to Nairobi in that it is not advisable to spend time there so we lazed around the beautiful hotel instead!
Watch out for uncooked chicken on the BBQ as I spent most of the with food poisoning!
From there we flew back to Nairobi then home.
Wow! What more can I say...?
