Arrival in Nairobi

It is now early Sunday morning, and we are in Nairobi, Kenya. We left London at 10 am on Saturday, and after an 8-hour flight, arrived in Nairobi about 8:30 pm local time. When we arrived, it was pouring rain (this is the rainy season here). We all got wet as we descended the stairs from the plane and ran as best we could into the terminal. We were met at the airport by Felix Koskei, the director of the company running the Safari (Travel Connections, Ltd.) Felix and his team of drivers/guides take good care of their customers, and we have encountered no problems so far.

We are currently at the Serena Nairobi Hotel, which is very luxurious (5 star rating, I think). However, we won't have much time to enjoy it's amenities, since we check out and hit the road at 7:30, just after breakfast.

Our group is 18 people, and we will have 3 vans with drivers. Fortunately, they take care of everything for us, and all we have to do is look out the window...
