  • Makongeni VillageThis week has been spent in Makongeni Village where our camp is. We are right next to Makongeni Primary School where we have been working. There was already the main structure of a new classroom there but we Posted by rachel.don in Rachel's Kenyan Adventure | Jul 26, 2009
  • 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 BaconOne 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
  • Bang-Bang went the policeman's gunA 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
  • The backpacker circle of helpTraveling 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
  • Wasting a weekKenya 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. As previously mentioned (http://randomtraveller.travellerspoint.com/52/) thes Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jul 20, 2009
  • The CoastOn 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
  • Living the Kenyan life Pole Pole (slowly)Sorry for the long wait but internet access is not really heard of in the middle of an elephant sanctuary and this is my first full day off since I left. The travelling to our first base went smoothly (well the Posted by rachel.don in Rachel's Kenyan Adventure | Jul 18, 2009
  • 6 day safariOh my god how gutting! I had just written a HUGE blog about everything we have done over the past week and it all just deleted!!!! So lets start again shall we? Sorry that it won't be quite as good, Posted by emmabanham in Emma's Kenya Blog | Jul 15, 2009
  • Karen- utter heaven!Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a while since my last post, but to be honest I haven't really done much to justify writing one! Since I left Watamu (which was lovely if a bit of a disaster) I met up Posted by emmabanham in Emma's Kenya Blog | Jun 30, 2009
  • Rain, rain, rain and more rain... then SUN!!Jambo everyone! Habari ya mchana? (How are you htis afternoon? You all reply mzuri sana!)

  • The trouble with dreams*I probably dream about all sorts of exciting and exotic things and am periodically a superhero. Actually, scrub that. I probably dream of sheep, London bus routes and comparisons between the drying abilities of glossy and matt paint. But either Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jun 12, 2009
  • What a difference a week makes.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. Heck, a week Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jun 12, 2009
  • A sea of pink that smellsIn 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. In the first, they were protesting about a decision to reduce the semester by 2weeks, thus Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jun 12, 2009
  • Mombasa with only 2 weeks left!!Jambo everyone! Right, a lot has happened since I last wote, but I don't have my diary so worry if I forget bits! Right now I am in Mombasa, we are all doing a bit of travelling for our last Posted by emmabanham in Emma's Kenya Blog | Jun 11, 2009
  • How a leopard can kill your enthusiasmIt was whilst watching the leopard that I realised that I hated the Masai Mara. With the news that I probably wouldn't be able to finally leave Nairobi until late July or early August (another 6-8weeks or so), i was not Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jun 10, 2009
  • HELLOOOO TO AFRICA!!!!hi everyone!!!! so i arrived in nairobi early this morning and got to Karen Camp really easily. all went well. iv met most of the people who are on the tour (the people who have already done three weeks Posted by julesfsmit in Julie's Journeys | Jun 5, 2009
  • Matatu's rule OK. Or something like thatLife in Nairobi just goes on and on, with predictable monotony. Transport in much of the world, especially the developing world, is always, erm, fun? Not necessarily for the first timer and novice traveler, but you adapt to the local Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Jun 2, 2009
  • Mid-TSavoHi everyone!! Sorry for my last blog, just read it back and it is awful! Might have been cos I was on the phone while I was writing it, there we go I will Just blame Rocky... Haha maybe not. Posted by emmabanham in Emma's Kenya Blog | Jun 2, 2009
  • A Leopard Crossing, I know I'll sound like a snobby world-weary backpacker on this blog entry, but I really have seen a lot of good game parks and animals. Lots of them. In biiiiiig quantities; prides of up to 30 lions, schools Posted by Ofelia in Where is Maaret? | May 6, 2009
  • Are You Sure We're Still in Africa?Going to Kenya was so efficient and easy that I seriously doubted if we'd accidentally changed continents. A quick swing of a rubber stamp, the jolly immigration officer relieved us of our dollars, stamped us in, and off we went on Posted by Ofelia in Where is Maaret? | May 3, 2009
  • Yup, stuck back in NairobiAnd so it is that I'm back in Nairobi. And for pretty much the first time since I left Portland, actually alone. This is quite strange. By nature - and history – I am a solo traveler, but this trip Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | May 27, 2009
  • Life and death in NairobberyIn a previous warbling (http://randomtraveller.travellerspoint.com/47/), I noted just how much I was looking forward to Nairobi, and my expectations of the city. I am happy to report that Nairobi has exceeded that. After 2.5weeks of pretty much Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | May 27, 2009
  • Fred worldThere is very little that is as frustrating being stuck somewhere sick when you are away traveling. Though you have the support and sympathy of other travelers and passers by, they are by nature transient people and not around much. Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | May 27, 2009
  • Day before TsavoOk yes, so I keep saying that this is the last time I can write a blog for ages, and then I reappear again, so I'm sorry but I will try to stay away now! We are all making the Posted by emmabanham in Emma's Kenya Blog | May 21, 2009
