Sunday, Oct 23. Departure for Nairobi. 33 hours door to door, 21 hours in the air. A 2.5 hour layover is now a concern in this new version of air travel. Hope it’s long enough to get from one plane to another.

This adventure begins in Kenya, at the Masai Mara National Reserve. Then we cross the border into Tanzania and explore the Serengeti area. Besides wildlife safaris, we visit various communities. The trip ends on the island of Zanzibar (Spice Islands). 24 days in total.

I have mixed emotions. Watching elephants roam the Earth is great entertainment, but as with the safari I did back when Covid was entering our lives, the itinerary includes long days in trucks on rough roads (or worse). I’d really much rather sit in a high chair and let the animals come to me. But I am certainly looking forward to Zanzibar.
