Hello Africa, tell me how you doing



After a very early start on the 20th, we boarded the plane for our last long-haul flight to Nairobi. We were picked up from the airport by a driver from Wildebeest Camp, and realised we certainly were in Africa when we nearly hit a Zebra grazing on the side of the highway on the way to the camp. It feels fantastic to be in Africa again! It feels more like home than we've felt for the past 7 months, which is just a wonderful feeling. The camp is so lovely, and we relaxed here today, catching up on a very behind blog (you might have noticed)!

Because we are going to be without internet access probably until we get home, we thought we should fill you in on what we will be doing for the next month.

Tomorrow he head off the the Masai Mara on a 3 day trip, returning here on Saturday. On Sunday we start the last part of our Round the World Trip (!); a 21 day overland trip down Africa, through the Serengeti, to Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar, then down Lake Malawi and into Zambia, until we end at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, flying home from there on the 16th of November. Just can't believe we're at this point already, feeling both excited to get home, but also wanting this last part to slooooow doooooown so that we can absorb every moment of every day that is left.
