From Nakuru to the Masai Mara

Another early start today as we leave Nakuru and head to the Masai Mara reserve. We had been told that this would be a 9 or 10 hour trip so we were surprised to find that the distance is only 230kms. The reason soon became apparent. The roads in Kenya are shockingly bad. Not a trip to be taken if you have any back problems. There are options to take internal flights!

The Chinese are heavily involved in road building and a lot of the roadwork signs are in Chinese as well as Swahili and English. The Chinese are also rebuilding the East African railway from the port of Mombasa to Uganda. Whoever is at fault, everything is only half done. There doesn’t seem to be a concept of building/completing in sections. There are some concrete roads but a lots of stoney dusty tracks. We have the windows open on the bus and raise huge clouds of dust. Everything on the bus, including ourselves, are soon covered in a film of dust.

The time passed quickly enough. We caught up on sorting photos and writing up notes for the blogs. Too bumpy for reading. We took some photos from the bus but had to be careful photographing people as some believe that photographs steal their soul. We will have more later, when we’ve had a opportunity to ask permission.

By the time. We got to the Masai Mara we just had time for a short game drive. This is when we first came across the Cheetahs some of you will have seen on our WhatsApp groups. These are 4 brothers and a tag-along. More about that later.
