Kenya: Nanyuki to Mount Kenya.

Sunday 22nd March
Nanyuki, Kenya: Today we're heading off to Mt. Kenya for a picnic. We have the most wonderful views of it from Camp David.



So, we thought we would get up close & personal. It's only a 1 hour drive to the base from here. When we got there, we pulled up at the entry point and they wanted $165 plus another $30 for the vehicle. Given that we are literally at the base of the mountain by now, parting with $200 just to get in for a couple of hours seemed outrageous so we found ourselves a most delightful picnic spot nearby, with wonderful views of the peak, and had ourselves a lovely picnic. Why do so many of the national parks in Africa insist on ripping people off, it's crazy. Don't they know there's a recession!






There's that great canopy above our heads as well, which to be honest, John & I rarely used. The table is also huge, and fits in its own slot on the roofrack.
