Watamu- my final week Africa » Kenya » Coast Province » Watamu

Our paridise
shame about the clouds

Saturday 23rd I’d given up on kite surfing and Dan, Claudie & Lucy invited me to go with them to the Northern coast. Following 5 matatu (minibus), a ferry and a bus up the coast, we arrived in Watamu. We’re staying in a basic hostel and I’m sharing with Lucy, so finally she doesn’t have be the gooseberry! We went for a wander to the beach and got bargaining for a fishing trip (for them) and snorkelling for all. Food at the hostel took forever to come (like Malawi, Dad, but worse), and it was the wrong order when it [View Full Entry]

Saturday 16th 6am up for a 7am departure - we crossed over the Kenyan border and a long journey to Nairobi. I used Andrea’s room to shower & repack my bag before getting the overnight bus to Mombassa. On the nightbus I had all the back seats to myself, and lay out to sleep, although the bumpy roads meant that I flew into the air on several occasions. At midnight we stopped, and unfortunately more people got on so I lost my bed. Sunday 17th We arrive [View Full Entry]

Serengeti Africa » Tanzania » North » Serengeti National Park

Leopard
shame it didn't turn its head

Wed 13th Ok another long drive but it was worth it. Read a lot of my book. The last bit of the road was bumpy but nothing compared with Kenya. Drove past the Nogorogoro Crater and drove along the edge, before continuing for another three hours to the Serengeti. I said to our guide that I wanted to see an adult male lion, and 10 mins later we saw one! Then Sean requested a leopard and in the next hour we came across one in a tree. It was too good to be true! We also saw lots of zebra [View Full Entry]

Goodbye mum and luxury Africa » Tanzania » North » Arusha

Mount Kilimanjaro

Monday 11th Said good bye to mum and got in “mum’s tour company” shuttle over to Stone town and the ferry to the main land. I saw more of the hussel and bustle of town as we drove through and I’m glad we didn’t stay there. As I went through immigration (even though I was staying in Tanzania) I asked a girl behind me if she was on a tour and she was- The Nomad tour that I was joining! Perfect. I sat with her (Sarah) as we went on the ferry over to Dar Es Salaam on the main [View Full Entry]

Zanzibar Africa » Tanzania » Zanzibar

Zanzibar beach

We had a very early start to get to the airport where we then sat because the plane was delayed. An hour and half flight into Stone Town. We were met by Ramadan and Mr Eddy the driver. They took us right into the heart of the Old Town and we had lunch in a bustling cafe. There weren't many women around as it was friday. Zanzibar is about 95% muslim. Havng spent about an hour in the town downloading Tamsin's photos onto a CD and me buying a basket we went for a spice tour. It was very homely [View Full Entry]

Flamingo and Hippo Africa » Kenya » Rift Valley Province » Lake Nakuru NP

Flamingo
Apart from seeing Tamsin these were my main reason for wanting to visit Kenya.

A giraffe drifted past the breakfast table view bidding us good bye as we started our 7 hour drive from Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru. The road for the last couple of hours was very dusty and bumpy as there were lots of large trucks. Nakuru National park is very wooded with flat plain down to the lake. It was rainy when we first arrived and our first glimpse of the flamingo in all their thousands (1.25 million on a good day apparently) were seen in the rain. We added buffalo and rhino to our list too. You can't get [View Full Entry]

Safari Africa » Kenya » Rift Valley Province » Masai Mara NP

masai giraffe

The opening photo just about sums up the day - lucky sightings all day. We opted for an early morning drive and late afternoon. We had been tempted by the hot air balloon flights but it was very expensive, rather cold and in the end we very glad we stayed on the ground. We started off by seeing elephant and all sorts of gazelle impala topi etc. Our first lions were sprawled out by the side of the road obviously having had a good meal last night or that morning. As they finally decided to amble off across the road [View Full Entry]
