Hello one and all! As people keep saying to me, Karibu Kenya (welcome to Kenya) and I have to keep telling them that I have been here for almost 5 months! Kinda effective way of making the beach boys leave Posted by emmabanham in Emma's Kenya Blog | Aug 9, 2009

The past week has been our final week of project work.
Our first project was working in the mangroves a short walk from our camp. At first we had to dig trenches which was quite exhausting because the Posted by rachel.don in Rachel's Kenyan Adventure | Aug 9, 2009

- The hot wet sensation of freedom
As I stood in the shower at Kilimanjaro backpackers in Moshi, Tanzania, I almost felt like I was cleansing myself from Kenya, and especially, Nairobi. The fact that shower had both excellent water pressure and adjustable (temperature) hot water and Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jul 28, 2009
- Nairobi
My luggage made it to Nairobi, what a delight. I will splurge on a cab ride to the hotel to celebrate! Plus, I've heard so many carjacking and mugging stories, that I don't want to venture on a hail marry Posted by Goneash in Gunes' Travel Blog | Jul 27, 2009

I'm actually leaving Nairobi.
No really, I am.
Yes, REALLY really.
And i don't need to come back. Well, ok, I do, but i'm not. Not after the events of a couple of days ago.

- When carjackings go wrong (or right?)
When I crossed back from Uganda a couple of weeks ago, the Kenyan border guards were extremely friendly and must have assumed they were doing me a favour. Sadly, it hasn't really worked that way. In East Africa, once you Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jul 25, 2009
- Six degrees of Kevin Bacon
One of things that I find fascinating about traveling is discovering – or constantly being reminded about - just how small a world this is. The theory of 6 stages of separation (or 6 stages of Kevin Bacon, depending on Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jul 25, 2009

A few days ago, an English couple on their last night in Africa who I have met a couple of times in Nairobi, came home from the city centre with a local friend around 9pm with the story that they Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jul 23, 2009

Traveling is a strange thing. It can make you do things that you would never do in similar situations at home. Like lend somebody you met barely 24hours previously - and whose name you can't even remember - 250usd to Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jul 21, 2009

Kenya is a strange place sometimes. Before i left for a couple of weeks, virtually every matatu had a video screen showing music videos to the 12passengers in the back.

On 12 July we travelled from Mwaluganje to Makongeni Village in Diani. The contrast that day was amazing and it was the first time we had seen a built up area for days, and along the main strip on Posted by rachel.don in Rachel's Kenyan Adventure | Jul 18, 2009

What a difference a week makes. A week ago I had no expectation of ever leaving Nairobi, let alone being able to go to the Masai Mara, having the anticipation, experience and ultimately disappointing end to the trip.

In today's Daily Nation, probably the most serious of Kenya's English language daily newspapers, I came across two great stories from the nations students.
