So far, the journey has been very good, everything went out well. As I
stayed quite long time on the coast, I am a little bit delayed now. I
thought it would happen somewhere on the way, just not that early. After
celebrating my birthday in Mombasa, I left for Nairobi.
By accident, I got to know 3 Scandinavian ladies going on Safari the
following day, they had a free seat, and due to me taking part as well,
the whole journey turned out to be cheaper for everyone. First, we went
to Masai Mara for 3 days. It was just amazing. We have seen all the big
five and a lot more animals.

It was lions, hippos, elephants, giraffes,
gepards, leopards, buffalos, birds, crocodiles, monkeys, and lots more.
It was just great. After that, we went for one day to Lake Nakuru, where
we have seen many flamingos and other birds, quite a view hippos and
had another beautiful day on safari.
Back in Nairobi, I went one day to meet the friend of a friend from
Germany. She is living in Nairobi in a beautiful house and we had a
beautiful day in her garden with a nice pizza lunch and some wine, which
I felt quite a lot after 4 weeks with nearly no alcohol at all.

I also met an Austrian friend of Yusuf, who
showed me Nairobi city
and different living areas in town. He seems to be an important guy
being married to the nice of the president. Tomorrow we will go for a
trip to Karen Blixen museum and to Nairobi National Park.

Probably, I will leave Nairobi around the end of this week, going
towards Lake Bororia and Baringo, then to Eldoret and Lake Victoria. In
Eldoret, there is again family time, as a brother of my friend Yussuf is
living there with his family, desperately waiting for the "muzungu"
(the white tourist) to come for some days. From there, I will do some
day trips to the tea plantations and to Lake Victoria, then it will be
time to leave for Uganda. So much for today.
