Next Stop Nairobi

July 14, 2024 /

After what has been for us a lengthy spell at home in England – it’s just over seven weeks since we flew back from California – we’re on the cusp of what is potentially our most adventurous trip so far. Our first stop will be Nairobi, though only for a single day before we’re off on an 8-day safari tour of other parts of Kenya. 

Somewhat unusually for us, this initial tour is not self guided but one in which we will be taken between destinations and out into the national parks by pre-booked guides and agents – the logistics and complications of individually booked destinations made the pre-planned option so much more easy. It’s likely that this first week will be our only guided sequence of the whole trip – the rest will be much more self-propelled, so to speak.

After the week long safari we return, briefly again, to Nairobi, then head out east from where the next stage of the adventure will begin. Most of the rest of the timing is as yet undecided – by the time we reach Cape Town we anticipate that it will be November, and springtime in South Africa.

Before then, there is the little matter of a football match in Berlin tonight which has virtually our whole nation engaged and excited. Incidentally, I had a real belief about this – in fact, the whole reason we’re flying out on the 15th and not earlier is that I just felt that England would be in this Final, and I wanted to be here at home to experience it. A neat bit of foresight if ever there was one.

After that, it’s next stop Nairobi.
