This week we leave for another journey to Africa - this time to the East African nations of Kenya and Tanzania. We are flying to Nairobi (via London), spending nine nights in Kenya and three nights in Tanzania.
The cameras are ready, lots of memory cards packed, and the video camera is charged up. We even packed our "safari" vests - they look very geeky, but they come in handy.
Caren has been warned not to touch or feed any of the animals. We've started taking our malaria pills and the bug repellent and Cipro are at the ready.
Unfortunately, we first have to fly to NY, then endure a long flight from JFK to Heathrow, followed by an even longer flight to Nairobi. Kenya is 10 hours ahead of California - I hope the kids can figure out the time change when they call.
Here are the hotels/lodges/camps we're going to in Kenya:
Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi
Sarova Shaba Lodge, Shaba National Reserve
Mt. Kenya Safari Club, Nanyuki
The Ark Lodge, Aberdare National Park
Sarova Lion Hill Lodge, Nakuru
Sekenani Camp, Maasai Mara National Reserve
In Tanzania, we're staying in a lodge at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater and a lodge in Serengeti National Park.
Even though we're going to be near/on the equator, it's the dry season (winter) where we're headed, so the weather should be in the 70s during the day and the 40s or 50s at night. Nairobi Weather Report:
