Final thoughts.

Hi all, The group just left Nanyuki – about 3.5 hours’ drive from the airport — and is on their way for tonight’s late departure to Amsterdam. Everyone is happy, healthy and full of mostly mixed emotions: happiness to see loved ones again soon, sadness to leave this place. I’m staying for another week for […]

Quick side note
