Big Catch-Up Part Mbili!

December 2020 - After many many tears, I made it back to Kenya in time for Christmas. I actually kissed the ground when I landed in Nairobi. I went by road to a lovely place called Elsamere, the former home of the author of Born Free. The lodge is on the shore of Lake Naivasha. I relaxed there, watched the black and white colobus monkeys, took a drive to a local sanctuary where I fell completely in love with the giraffes, and climbed a small mountain!
