Leaving Lamu for London

I left Kenya four times. The first was after being north on Lamu for six weeks of sheer relaxation on a pristine beach. I foolishly thought I needed a change.

South of Nairobi and close to the border with Tanzania, was Amboseli Game Park with a view of Mt Kilamanjaro over the boarder.

This was a bird watchers paradise but for me, the thrill was spotting a pride of lion.

After over five weeks on the coast, it was time to venture inland. Kenya, along the Mombasa to Nairobi highway, was a journey through a wonderland. Baobab trees and sisal plantations dotted the landscape. Elephants were a common sight along the side of the road.
