Highlights: Ballon Safari, Amazing Africa Wildlife
Today was the first safari for this trip and in fact it was two safaris across a very long day. It was to be a day of an overwhelming range of wildlife; lions, the elusive leopard, elephants, buffalo, monkeys, ostriches, warthogs, cheetah, hippos, hyenas, crocodiles, wildebeest, gazelles, buffalo, elands, zebras oh my!

Highlights: Masai Mara Village Visit
Today was the first full day of the Great African Expedition tour with On the Go Tours run in conjunction with the Africa Travel Company. In reality this is several trips tied together so my travel companions will change regularly. There are only two people I know for sure who are going to Cape Town, Rosa and Anthony from England.
There are fourteen tour members: James, Ang, Stephanie, Helen, Judith, Belinda, Margaret, Rosa, Arron, Logan, Emilie, Owen, Nick and me. We come from Australia, UK, New Zealand, Canada, Germany and Mexico. Our tour leader is Kapalua, our cook is Duncan and driver is Alois.

Today was a chance to explore the local area by undertaking a day tour of the nearby attractions of Nairobi. This tour was organised by the Wildebeest Eco Camp so there were three of us involved, one lady from Germany and another from Canada.

Highlights: Relaxing
Today was a very simple day relaxing at the Wildebeest Eco Camp. I woke up around 4 am local time but forced myself to sleep longer to get into the local Timezone, much easier then forcing yourself to stay awake.

Highlights: Mercedes Benz transfer, Emirates A380 First Class Bed, Dom Pérignon
I was only at the Singapore Airport for just under 2 hours most of which I spend in the Emirates First-Business Class Lounge (review here). Emirates flight EK405 boarded late around 01.38 when we were supposed to depart at 01.20.
For this flight I went straight to the bed option, choosing to take a shower 2 hours before landing and breakfast after that (full flight review here). I managed to get approximately 4 hours of solid comfortable sleep on this flight. You don’t even think you are on a plane while sleeping it’s that comfortable. (more…)
