Below is a summary of Kenyan adventures in November and December.
Diani Beach
My KAVI coworkers took a team trip to Mombasa which is along the coast of Kenya. Because of U.S. and U.K Embassy warnings about the past issues with terrorists, GSK forbid me from joining my team.
This is like being told you have an all expense paid trip to Disneyland, but your parents forbid it because Goofy looks threatening.
So instead, my roommates and I went to the safe (but apparently not as nice), southern part of the coast. Diani Beach was a quick 40 min flight from Nairobi which made this a very easy weekend trip.
and no other tourists!
We rode camels!
“I think you killed your camel!” Said Beverley.
We all bought a Maasai dress for someone. Here we pretended to be Maasai.
Ostrich Farm
Tour of ostrich farm –> Ride ostrich –> Eat ostrich (not the same one)
Wendy and Anna
Eileen shows the strength of an ostrich egg
A bit chewy and flavorless. We agreed it was good to try, but nobody will order it again.
Animal Orphanage
We pet a lion and I was licked by a leopard.
Amazing how close we were able to get to the animals
