Kenya (again): Eldoret – Nairobi


Not a lot to write here. We left Jinja and headed for the border of Uganda and Kenya. Border crossing was relatively straight forward with our guides doing most of the hard work. The rest of the day was spent in the truck making our way ultimately back to Nairobi. However, road conditions mean we couldn't possibly do the distance between Jinja and Nairobi in one day so we stopped back at Eldoret for the night. We'd previously stayed at this camp site so knew it had hot water and western toilets to use, which is always welcomed, especially by the ladies in the group.

The next day is officially the end of the first tour we're doing (Gorillas, Chimps and Game Parks – 16 days). We left Eldoret and had essentially another full day in the truck heading to Nairobi. Upon arrival in Nairobi, we had a few people staying, a few people continuing on different tours and a few people departing. We exchanged contact details and said our goodbyes to those leaving and to our guide, driver and cook for the tour.

That night, we met our new group for our next tour (Kenya to Vic Falls – 23 days). This group is 12 people, including Amanda, Hayley and myself from our Gorillas tour, plus 9 other Aussies with a new tour leader, Victor. After our initial meeting, we had a final dinner with those of our old tour who were still left at the hotel, said our goodbyes and prepared ourselves for our next adventure.

Next update from Tanzania, internet depending....
