After a hard days work game spotting in Tsavo cold water was the solution
We spend a day in Nairobi with the first priority was to get the car washed, two days later it needs another thorough valet inside and out, you cannot imagine the dust we have encountered and it gets in everywhere and each time you open the car doors to get something it transfers to your clothes and every orifice. At the end of the day depending on where you have traveled the shower or bath water is either grey, orange or red the latter is the colour of the dust in Tsavo.
We then do some essential shopping as at our next stop we will be doing some self catering, we then head off to see the Giraffe Centre where Sinead can feed the giraffes, being a weekend the place was packed, but we enjoyed the look on her face when the giraffe stuck out his black tongue to take one pellet at a time from her hand.
Nairobi CBD is very dirty, but recently I went around Hillbrow and that was none too clean either. The traffic is chronic and the roads have not changed in 50 years, but in that time the traffic density has increased 10,000 fold at least. On a six lane highway you have circles and on the circles you have robots and standing around interfering with the whole process you have traffic cops, to say it is confusion would be an understatement of note especially for a visitor and I had some notion as to where I was going and I was confused.
We survived and we found our way back to Kentmere Club winding our way down Muthaiga Road, which should be called Embassy Road, through some lovely forest up Banana Hill, through Tigoni to our gentlemen's club, which was not bad, but could do with a fair amount of TLC.
Tomorrow we head for Tsavo West National Park where we stay for two nights.
