  • Africa Trip 2017-18: Day 18 Lake Naivasha to Nairobi, Kenya

    Highlights: Final Farewells

    The first leg of this tour officially ended with us arriving back at the Wildebeest Eco Camp. Only six people for the first leg will continue; Maggie, Roz, Aaron, Emilie, Logan and myself. We started the day with a 5.45 am wake up, but in my tent I set the alarm incorrectly as 4.45 am, but Nick corrected me without throwing a shoe in my direction which I think I deserved for this mistake.

    Highlights: Lake Nakuru Game Drive, Sharing time with Orphan Children

    Today we got to experience the diverse wildlife in Africa and the amazing spirits of the young orphans at the East Africa Mission Orphanage (EAMO). I got to experience nature at it’s best and complete the ‘Big Five’ while being moved almost to tears when playing with the children of EAMO who were so happy doing the most simple things when they have so little.

    Highlights: Uganda-Kenya Border Crossing

    Today we farewelled Uganda undertaking to 430 km 10 hour drive to Nakuru in Kenya. The only real highlight of today was having a very fast border transfer but into Kenya with no problems today. Very glad I got the East African Tourist Visa when crossing into Uganda, while I effectively wasted the Kenyan eVisa it made everything much easier crossing between Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.

    Highlights: Rafting on the Nile, Sunset over the Nile

    Today the group was moving from Kampala to Jinja but Nick and myself had an early morning 6.20 am pick up in Kampala in order to undertake a half day rafting the rapids on the Nile near Jinja. This meant tent was packed up while the rest of the group got to sleep in, not having to worry until 8.30 am breakfast with tents down after that. While they slept we drove though the mist 🙂
