I'm having a terrible time trying to upload pictures, but as soon as I have time to do so I will.

I have arrived in Kenya and it is better than I could imagine. Most of the group arrived at JFK to take the group flight to London where we spent the day. Half of us went into town and the other half decided to stay at the airport. Exchanging U.S. money to Euro is expensive as I gave $100.00 U.S. and received only 44 Euros. After the exhausting day of exlporing London we headed back to the airport where we grabbed some food and drinks and hopped on the airplane to Kenya. It was a long 8 hours later when we arrived in Kenya just in time to take a picture of their sunrise.

We unloaded and met our guide where he took our money and passports to get us our documents. In the meantime we exchanged money into Kenya Shillings which was a lot cheaper! 1 1/2 hours later we went down to customs where it took another 2 hours to get cleared to enter the country. We met our drivers and jumped in the rangers as we headed down the devil's highway. Okay, it's not really called the devil's highway, but there are no rulse when it comes to driving here. The construction and dirt roads, traffic, vehicles piled up on the roads, we finally arrived at our camp 6 hours later.

We have been hiking, vistited the maasai, and obviously seen a great deal of wildlife and beautiful scenary. I'll write more info next week.

So, I will be flying out of New York on the 3rd to London where I will return to my hometown, Upperhayford. We will reach Nairobi on the 5th, Friday, where we will meet up with the staff, get our visas and exchange our currency!

It is the request of the facility that no packages be sent as it will probably be ravaged. Asante (Thank you)

Kilimanjaro Bush Camp

These pictures consist of the southern camp in Kenya that my peers and I might be able to stay for the latter half of the trip. The pictures are provided by School For Field Studies. We have yet to see what our facilities our like in Northern Tanzania, but have been told they are similar
