And the journey begins...

So, after much talk and preparation, we are finally on our way around the world. Our flight over to Nairobi was great after we were upgraded to premium economy class. Thanks Dave!! We arrived late in the evening at our hotel, which is much more flashy than what is to come in the next few months.

Today we walked around the city in the searing 30 degree heat (haha), taking in that unmistakable odour of a nation that is so against the use of deodorant. The traffic here is crazy. Trying to cross the road is like playing dodgeball with matatus. They are the minibuses crammed full of families. We look forward to taking one of those soon!!

Other than a few touts spotting the white guys, Nairobi seems a fairly nice place to visit, particularly the Kenyatta Conference Centre, from which we saw spectacular views of the city. However we can't wait to head off on our 6 day safari tomorrow morning at 9:15am.

Hope everyone is well back home, we will post again after the safari.

Love Ells and Gem xx
