Africa is a huge continent with 54 countries in it and accounts for 20% of Earth's landmass. There is a lot of adventure to be had in Africa but so far we have not partaken in any of it. So, when we were granted the opportunity to travel to Kenya with a friend and get to know a small part of the continent, we were all keen. Our first few days were full of new discoveries - baboons filling the role of racoons, baobab and acacia in place of pines, ugali and chapati in place of bread and rice. We spent our first few days on the masaai plains south of Nairobi National Park. It was a quiet area that overlooked Nairobi National Park that felt remote as it it was isolated between the park and grazing land. Still, in the horizon the big buildings of Nairobi were always visible, making the landscape a nice tableau. We visited giraffes, went to a cultural show, walked to a glassworks, ate large breakfasts, watched a local version of the Lion King play, and generally had a nice time getting to know a new place and vibe.
