37. Kenya: Border crossing +

Things often do not go as planned in Africa, and our border crossing to Kenya was a testament to that. We were delayed about 2 hours as one of our travelmates had an expired visa that required re-application. This was not as big a problem as the fact that the paperwork for our travel truck, which had been previously submitted, had not been processed. So while we (the people) could cross, our truck would need a few extra days. To add to all of this, our driver Harmony came down with malaria, and although he sought and received proper treatment at the hospital (after initially being misdiagnosed at a local clinic), he needed rest.

So - 3 tourists and a guide with no truck or driver. As I've mentioned previously, our guide Crispen is a real pro. He is always prepared with plan B or plan C. Using his multiple personal & company based connections, he found us a ride to Nairobi (albeit in a vehicle that was too small for us), as well as a new driver and a new truck.

Hakuna matata (no worries).

We stayed 2 nights in glamping style pre-erected tents at Wildebeest Camp, and took off on schedule for Lake Nakuru.Baca lagi
