The internet has been the best inventions that was ever made by man. Lets just forget the bad side of this invention for now. Just think about it, before your physical travel, you have already e-travelled to your destination. You have gone to google and learnt so much about the country, the places you want to go to, the people, the culture and even what you don't want to see. You have even found me on the same e-platform. What is remaining is the experience and indulging in the beauty, the adventure, meet and make new friends. This is where I come in, to help you finish your adventure. To make your dreams come true, to deliver and give you that experience.
You arrived last night, have had a good night's sleep, had breakfast and have about 10 hours to explore the city of Nairobi before departing for your Safari. You think and worry about how much of your time the traffic will take out of the 10 hours and how much you can do in the remaining time. If you ride a motorcycle like me, you have lost no time. Thats the beauty of the two wheels. For those 10 hours, you can choose to spend your day in Niarobi or get out and go to Naivasha, Magadi or Ngong Hills.
Nairobi has many activities and you can do three to four in a day. The advantage is that the places are in the same neighbourhood, minimizing the traffic time. A variety of roads to use to get there which is good for avoiding traffic. Museums and cultural centers for the History Lovers, Art Galleries for the Art lovers, Conservancies for animal and wildlife lovers, Geo-caching for the geocachers. Just pick your poison!!
Prefer getting out of town, if you choose Naivasha, we will have historical site visits, see the Great Rift Valley, do some birdwatching and have lunch by the lake. You will fancy a boat ride, we can also spend sometime with the hippos.
If the Hills are your option, be ready to do some off road riding, hiking and see the wind mill farm. The local community is know for their sweetest grilled meat and we shall have some too.
Imagine a pink lake? Yes, complete with a good number of flamingos, hot springs for a therapeutic swim or feet bath and a very clean town. Good scenery along the way that you stop to take pictures at every couple of kilometers.
These activities are so fulfilling that they may increase your energy instead of getting you tired. So if by the end you still have some energy, lets explore the Nairobi night life - Cocktails, music and good company.
