Snake Park Camp, Tanzania to Nairobi, Kenya.

We crossed the border into Kenya with nothing more than the expected line-ups at immigration. Shortly after entering the country, we came upon a tractor-trailer unit blocking THE main road to Nairobi. There was no way Malaika could make it around, even with Will at the helm. We got the truck turned around after Will got some directions from a helpful local. This brought us back to a turn-off right at the border crossing, and took us up the un-main road. There were a few anxious moments, but when we could hear Will’s cheering from the cab, we knew we had made it back to the main highway on the far side of the blocked road.

Um, Houston, we have a problem….

Just go back up the road, turn left, then left, then right….

The un-main road to Nairobi.

You can order a drink to wash down the well-aged meat….

Just a little off the usual tourist route.

Welcome to Nairobi.

The time with Africa in Focus and our overland group officially came to a close when we were dropped off in Nairobi. We quickly unloaded our stuff from Malaika, said some quick goodbyes to each other, briefly welcomed the new group to their new home-away-from-home, and that was it… it was just Eron and Roger again – off on the next phase of our African adventure.

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me…. (that would be me, Eron ;-))

My birthday present was a hot shower. But not just any hot shower. It was in one of the best rated hotels in Nairobi – the Fairview Kenya (http://www.fairviewkenya.com/).

We now had 36 hours to do nothing but chill in our wonderfully cool, clean room. It came complete with a soft bed, clean sheets, a great shower, and in-room WiFi. Wooooo hooooooooo!
