The Trip of a Lifetime
In the summer and early fall of 2009, my son said he was going to take me to Kenya in early spring 2010, as long as I got myself into good shape for the trip. I said "sure, sure", and continued to be my usual lazy self. I really didn't think it would happen, since there were so many other things on our plates - work-wise and family-wise.
My son, on the other hand, continued to make the promise of Africa every time we talked.
This repartee continued throughout the fall of 2009, right up to Christmas. At that point, my son said that the trip would happen immediately after the Olympics. He couldn't take leave before then, because of his work. Mona (the one who rules) said.."You should go. It will be the trip of a lifetime to go on safari with Ashley." Of course, she who rules is always right! So...I committed to go.
Then, Mona suggested to us that we should invite the uncles to come along. Well, another good idea! Ashley sent everyone an e-mail on Dec. 27th, inviting them on the trip. This is what he wrote:
"I hope everyone had a good Christmas and is looking forward to the new year. Things have been getting pretty busy for me on my end, and will only get more hectic with the lead up to, and during the Olympics.
So I've finally had a chance to find out when my Olympic Leave Restrictions end, and also when we might be able to pull this trip together. As it sits right now, I work March 6th, and am ready to take off anytime after that. I was hoping that we could roughly plan something from March 7-21, giving us a full two weeks out there. Obviously things are fairly flexible so give me some feedback about what you giuys think. I know some of you are still thinking about whether this trip can pan out for you, so i'll keep everyone in the loop regardless. Also, if I can shift things around to make sure we all have a chance to do this, I'd love to make it happen for us all. I think it'll be a great "guys" trip.
The rough plan is to head out to Kenya for two weeks.
Recently Dad and I were talking and we though it might be nice to fly out to London, spend the night there, and then continue on to Nairobi, the next day. Just a thought for now.
Once out there, we will do either a 3-6 day safari hitting Maasai Mara, Serengetti, Tsavo. We'll head to the Western Province in Kakamega and Shikokho to catch up on some projects that Imbenzi and I have on the go out there and for you guys to see real rural Africa. While in Western Province we'll hit the Kakamega Rain Forest for a day trek or two before we head back to Nairobi.
If everyone is interested, we can boot on over the coast in Diani Beach and catch a Dhow trip on the Indian Ocean with a seafood feast. Its all pretty awesome stuff out there.
And as I said earlier, everything should be fairly inexpensive, with the airfare being the most costly (approx 1700), followed by the safari (approx.300-600 all inclusive). While in Western Province our accomodations are free with Imbenzi's Base Camp and Headquarters out there. Coast is cheap with just the cost of the hotel and the dhow trip being about 50 bucks.
Anyways guys, if anyone has any questions just send me a message and i'll get back to you."
Well, things happened, and life got in the way. We had some family misfortune, family loss, and a lot of misery. Throughout it all, we remained committed to doing the trip. It was like a light at the end of a long tunnel.
When everything had settled, we had 7 of us going on our trip of a lifetime.

Goodbye to Abbotsford
Our "group of Seven" came from Vancouver, Langley, Abbotsford, vernon, and Winnipeg. It made the logistics of leaving interesting, but in the end we all decided to fly out from Vancouver on the same flight. So, the Winnipeg pair came to Abbotsford and we left together.
Our flight was leaving Vancouver at 8:30 pm and flying to Amsterdam, where we would stay overnight before flying on to Nairobi.
Welcome to Amsterdam
We flew all night - 8 1/2 hours in total - and landed in Amsterdam at 3:15 local time. No big shocks to the system yet, since Amsterdam's weather is about the same as BC. Still, we were on our way and excited!!
Tomorrow would bring the Africa leg of the trip, but for now it was time to do a quick exploration of Amsterdam....
10-MAR-2010
A Night on the Town
It's March, remember!
A night on the town in Amsterdam is a pretty cold experience in March, but the boys did it!
I,on the other hand, stayed in the hotel and read a book, like a true father figure.
10-MAR-2010
Did they go...
to the Red Light District? Yes...
Not much to see, and no, they didn't do anything crazy. At least, that's what they told me.
11-MAR-2010
Arriving in Nairobi
Our flight from Amsterdam took 8 1/2 hours, and we got into Nairobi about 8:00 in the evening. It was already dark, and we were pretty jet-lagged by then.
Getting into Jomo Kenyatta airport is quite an experience. It's old, and fairly run-down, but still works. What's unusual, of course, is that you are in an African country and the processes all work a lot differently than you would be accustomed to at home. Ashley gave us a phrase to remember this.."TIA - this is Africa".
It didn't take long for the baggage, but getting our entry visas was a first for all of us. Still, we got them, paid our $25 US, and headed to the hotel.
We were met at the airport by Imbenzi's brother Duncan, and our driver Tom. Tom was to be our driver for the next week and a half. More on him later.
All we had energy to do, once we got to our hotel, was have a Tusker and head off to bed. Safari starts tomorrow!
So...we all headed up to our rooms after a beer, and got settled in. we were on the 12 floor and our window looked out onto Uhuru Park and one of the main streets.
I looked down at the street corner, and saw 2 people getting water from a ditch and washing cars! Right on the street! I couldn't imaging how those cars would look in daylight, after getting washed with ditch water...apparently, cars are washed like this all the time in Nairobi.
Like Ashley said "T.I.A." (this is Africa)
11-MAR-2010
Nairobi
Like most first-time visitors to a place, I came with all my "baggage". You know...pre-conceived ideas about Africa, Kenya, and of course, Nairobi.
Downtown Nairobi is a modern city just like you would find anywhere else in the world, with parks, streets, and traffic. In fact, traffic here is just as crazy as London or Paris. Here's a view from our hotel window, showing the morning commute getting started.
12-MAR-2010
The Kenya Independence Monument
In the previous picture, you saw a shot of Uhuru Park. The large structure in the scen is the Kenyan Independence Monument. I didn't know anything about it, but found this information on Enchanted Landscapes.com
Built in 1988 to commemorate 25 years of independence, the Independence Monument is a marble rendering of the lowering of the British colonial flag and the raising of the Kenyan flag. It cost nearly a million dollars to construct and caused a lot of controversy.
Location - Uhuru park along Uhuru Highway, near the Nairobi Serena Hotel.
The monument, after several years of neglect, has now received a face lift restoring it to it original grand state. It still remains a busy place with all manner of enterprise taking place around it. The Independence Monument stands as a reminder of the grand moments in the history of the land when a nation stood up in pride to proclaim itself free.
For the lover of history, visiting the site might just present a nice opportunity to travel back in time a capture a glimpse of Kenya's past. While here you can experience the thriving small-scale business activities as freelance photographers, candy, icecream and quick snack dealers busy themselves trying to earn a living by selling their ware to the numerous visitors to the park. The well trimmed lawns are a great spot for groups, couples and individuals alike to spend some quality time together. The new city street lighting project has made the park where the monument is located a safe place even at night.

Romantic Ideas and Reality ....
People my age grew up on old movies with Humphrey Bogart like "The African Queen", and of course all the "B" movies showing darkest Africa, where time stands still...Of course, it's absolute baloney nowadays..
Looking from my hotel room window in the morning showed a big city with all the sights you would expect to see anywhere in North America - morning commuters jamming up the streets, green parks for people to enjoy the outdoors, modern buildings climbing up to the sky, and...advertising..
This banner is over 8 stories high, and is promoting ATM's and electronic banking. And yes....we had no problem finding bank machines while we were in Kenya.
11-MAR-2010
The Laico Regency Hotel
Our hotel in Nairobi was the Laico Regency. We ended up using it as our base for the trip, staying there on arrival, then again after transiting from the Western Province to Mombasa, and again the night before we left to come home.
We were 2 people to a room, and breakfast was included in the cost, which was $221. So, it worked out to $110 each for bed and breakfast.
The hotel is pretty upscale, and we weren't roughing it, so to speak..Here's a view of the atrium from our floor.
11-MAR-2010
The Wall Mosaic
Here's a shot of the mosaic on the atrium wall. Very Eastern-looking and elaborate. I liked it.
11-MAR-2010
Pre-safari Breakfast
We all gathered for breakfast before getting on our way. Everyone seems a little serious at this point. Imbenzi must have been spinning a tale about the "dangers" or something. Little did we know...we had a hero in our midst. More on that later...
11-MAR-2010
And we're off...
After breakfast, we checked out of our rooms, and our van and driver Tom came to pick us up. This would be our vehicle for the next week and a half. Everyone looks fresh and raring to go!
12-MAR-2010
On the road to Amboseli
The first leg of our safari was to be Amboseli National Park. It's located south-east of Nairobi, on the border between Kenya and Tanzania. We would be driving from Nairobi to Amboseli on the Mombasa Road. Google calls Mombasa Road route A109. I have no idea if that's right, since Tom (our driver) knew exactly where he was going and just went....
The highway is NOT really good highway, by Canadian standards. But it's good enough.
The highway makes it's way through a huge number of small towns and villages along the way. Here's a shot of some buildings from one road-side town we went through...
12-MAR-2010
The Van
Our van was a Toyota, imported from Japan. It was right-hand drive, which is the standard for Kenya, and seated 8 passengers besides the driver. It's all-wheel drive, and is outfitted with a roof that raises to provide a van-top viewing area.
It was plenty big enough for us, and held all our luggage in the back compartment, too.
There were seat-belts at every seat, and I'm sure people use them...sometimes.
12-MAR-2010
Looking at the back of the van
12-MAR-2010
The Gas Station
We filled up at a gas station along the way...I think it was a Kobil station.
12-MAR-2010
The Road-side Stands
Everywhere you look along the highway, there are small roadside stands. It seems like that's how business is conducted in Kenya.
The stands are really ramshackle, in fact they're little more than tin shacks. They've got gaps in the walls, sacking for doors, and no light at all. Yet, they're operating just like a corner store with cigarettes, pop, and candies.
I didn't want to make it look like I was taking pictures of the people, so I got the Vernon Viper to stand for a portrait. Couldn't get him to smile, though....
Matatu
No description of traveling in Kenya would be complete without a picture of a MATATU. It's absolutely amazing to see how many people get jammed into these things all the time! Here's what the website Global Literacy Project says about them:
You may have to ride a "MATATU" if you go to Kenya (or any of it's neighbors). You will never forget the experience. Why? Well, you can't really understand it if you don't ride it. I mean, we can say that "MATATU" means "taxi" in Swahili but anyone who's been to Kenya and traveled in a matatu knows that that really doesn't sum up the experience of riding in one.
But what is a matatu? A matatu is usually a minibus or some such form of public transportation in Kenya. Away from the cities, the matatu transforms into a pickup truck, with a cover on the bed. For a few shillings a piece, as many people as the driver can convince to squeeze in (or "cram in" if we're going to be honest), with their baggage, and perhaps some livestock, can get a ride to where-ever they're going.
Usually baggage is placed on top along with animals such as perhaps some chickens. A matatu is finally full when you have several people hanging out the back door.
The reason for all of this, of course, is because most Kenyans are quite poor and transportation is expensive, so this is how working people attempt to cut down on cost. Matatu, Matatu.
A timetable does not exist. You leave when the driver decides that the vehicle is full. Hakuna matata - no problem!
12-MAR-2010
Rural Kenya
As we travelled further and further along the road, there were less and less towns and villages. We started getting a sense of rural life in this part of Kenya. It's very hot, very dry, and there's not much arable land for farming, Canadian-style. But.....we never seemed to be on a stretch of road without any people. even in the most remote spots, we would come upon someone on the side of the road or walking across the "bush".
Most of the time, we encountered herds of cattle or goats with a young boy herding them along. Here's a shot of one small herd that was crossing the road.
It was interesting to watch Tom, our driver. If I was driving up to a herd like this, I would stop and wait for them to cross. Not Tom!! He would drive right into the herd, and they would scatter in front of him. I thought the tribesman herding would get upset, but they never seemed to..Oh well, T.I.A.
12-MAR-2010
Oltukai
We spent almost all day working our way to Amboseli. I just went on Google to try and figure out the actual distance, and followed the roads that are marked. Here's what I figured out:
Nairobi to Amboseli (as the crow flies)
168 kms
104 miles
Nairobi to Amboseli (using the roads)
244.51 kms
151 miles
No matter how you look at it, it took a lot of time. Once you're off the main roads in Kenya, vehicle speed will rarely get over 60-80 KM/hr.
Oltukai Lodge was to be our base for the next 3 days. Here's the Lodge sign as we were pulling in...
12-MAR-2010
Arriving at Oltukai
Oltukai sits in Amboseli Park, in a grove of Acacia,Thorn Trees, and Palms.
After driving for hours with the Kenyan sun and heat beating down on the van, and traveling down gravel and dirt roads, arriving at the Lodge was a major reward!
Oltukai probably wouldn't be a pick for the "backpacking" type. It's more on the lines of a 3-5 star resort, just like you would find in North America.
Here's the roadway leading into the entrance portico. You can see people off-loading from their safari van after a day in the park.
While it's not very prominent, this spot has one very special treat for the guest. The wicker container with the white cloth on top has individual face cloths laready dampened with cool water. When you get out of your vehicle and wipe your face with one of these,it's pure nirvana!
13-MAR-2010
Oltukai Grounds
The landscaping, trees and shrubbery at Oltukai are fantastic. Everything is maintained very well, with a lot of greenery and floral settings, too.
14-MAR-2010
The Hotel Lobby
In Canada, the first thing you'll see in a hotel lobby is the check-in counter. Kenya's no different, except there's no bank of computers with clerks clicking away.
Here, the clerk has a good old registration form to fill in.
Here she is filing...
By the way..the lobby is extremely dark, in order to keep the heat down. There's a lot of windows, but everything is really shady. I had to really push this picture to get the detail out.
14-MAR-2010
Oltukai Lodge Construction
The Lodge is built from a combination of unprocessed log supports and trusses, rough timber boards, and clay tiles for flooring. It's really well-made, and everything is very clean. All the windows and doors are left wide-open to ventilate the building, so you always end up feeling your outdoors.
The lobby area has some great fabric hangings, as well as a lot of beautiful sculptures and carvings all over.

The Patio
Here's a view of the patio. In a few more pictures, you'll see what this fellow was photographing. I'll let the suspense build....grin....
14-MAR-2010
The Creek
There's a creek running right through the patio area. I don't think it's natural, though. Just a nice water feature..
14-MAR-2010
The Pool
I don't think I mentioned there was a pool...grin
14-MAR-2010
The Dining Room
The Dining Room has both an indoor and an outdoor area. Very nice...
14-MAR-2010
Yes, there is a bar...
The Vernon Viper obliged me by sitting at the bar for a photo. Of course, none of our group would want to spend any time in a bar. Right...
14-MAR-2010
Another view of the Bar
Unfortunately, it's very hard to get good shots of the bar interior, since there is so much sunlight pouring in to this shaded area.
The bar is actually two stories high, with an upper deck all around it and tables on that deck. I never got up there, but the view should be great!
14-MAR-2010
So...what view?
This is what everyone loves the most about Amboseli...besides the animals. Kilimanjaro is sitting right outside your windows all the time!
12-MAR-2010
Our cottages..
Oltukai Lodge is a first-rate facility, with tri-plex cottages throughout the grounds. Here's a picture of our cottage.
12-MAR-2010
On the Patio
After a long drive in a hot van, it was nice to kick off the sandals and just sit in something that didn't move...
12-MAR-2010
Our view from the Cottage
We were pretty excited to be in Amboseli, and really charged up about seeing all the animals. What made things even better was looking out past the fence line and seeing a huge herd of elephants. I count about 40 in this herd..
12-MAR-2010
More to see...
A Marabou stork..
This is a huge, unmissable and unmistakable stork. Anywhere there are people you will find groups of Marabou. They are scavengers and can be found around refuse dumps as well as with vultures around carcasses. However they don't rely solely on scavenging, they will catch small rodents and reptiles and have even been known to pick swallows out of the air! Although they have to class as one of the uglier (if not ugliest) of Kenyan birds, airborne they are superb flyers, soaring at high altitude across the plains.
12-MAR-2010
Evening Safari Time
After we'd settled in and relaxed for a while, Tom came and got us to do an early evening safari drive. And of course, the ubiquitous monkeys were there to watch us head out as we left the gates of the lodge...
12-MAR-2010
A family shot
We ended up seeing quite a few baby animals on the safaris. Here's a mother and family..
12-MAR-2010
The Grey Crowned Crane
The Grey Crowned Crane is a stately and colourful bird of the Kenyan wetlands. It is renowned for its elaborate displays where pairs engage in bowing, head bobbing and energetic dancing. The sight of a flock of Crowned Cranes flying in to land, over water against the backdrop of a Kenyan sunset is truly memorable!
12-MAR-2010
Two Females waking up for supper
These were the first lions we saw on safari in Kenya. There's 2 females, and the one behind has a tracking collar on it.
12-MAR-2010
A popular spot
Whenever there is a good sighting, all the safari drivers share the information. It only makes sense...they all want us (the tourist) to have a good experience. It can get a little crowded, though.
Interestingly enough, the lions didn't take cany notice of the traffic jam around them.
12-MAR-2010
A Lone Bull at Sunset
Here's a lone bull heading down to the water at sunset.
Now....count the legs...grin
12-MAR-2010
A Warthog
The warthog is a member of the pig family, and is very recognizable by the tusks and "warts" on its head. Their tusks are used to dig for roots, and to dig their burrows. They are common animals in most regions of Kenya. Warthogs are not considered to be among the endangered animals of Kenya.
12-MAR-2010
Time to go home...
Our evening safari ended with a vist to the hippos. It was laready getting dark, but we managed to see some shapes in the water. All of a sudden, this hippo raised it's head out of the water and made a great snorting sound. I just managed to catch it, and got this shot. One of my favourites...
Amboseli, Day Two
After seeing the animals on our first night, we had a great meal and a "few" drinks. Bed beckoned, with day two in Amboseli coming quickly..
13-MAR-2010
And we're off again...
Day Two...breakfast, then off to safari.
Just outside the gates to the Lodge, we saw some birds and this was one of them. I think it's a Plover..
13-MAR-2010
A colourful Heron
The colour on this particular Heron really jumped out when I opened it on my computer. I'm not sure which kind of Heron it is, though.
13-MAR-2010
Monitor Lizard
We wouldn't have noticed this lizard, but looking at the birds got us focussed on the ground. This fellow was probably 2-3 feet long!
13-MAR-2010
Elephants Below Kilimanjaro
Wherever you are, while on safari in Amboseli, you will eventually find Kilimanjaro watching over you..
13-MAR-2010
Birds...and more birds
In the foreground, you can see a Marabou stork. Off to the side a Grey Crowned Crane is taking off, and back in the distance are some Ibises. Every one of these birds has a wingspan of 5-6 feet!
13-MAR-2010
Zebra
Apparently, they're just pests to the farmers...
13-MAR-2010
Don't mess with me...
It is said the water buffalo is one of the most dangerous animals..simply because they are unpredictable and plain mean.
13-MAR-2010
We're ready for anything!
The Local Legend and the Vernon Viper are both locked and loaded for any good shots that will come their way. Obviously, Kilimanjaro was just another hill by this point..grin.
13-MAR-2010
I can see clearly now..
Meanwhile, Nub "the debt collector" had a prime seat for looking out over the savannah.
13-MAR-2010
Get Back Here!!!
This Ostrich was being pretty vocal, and making noises toward the others...
13-MAR-2010
Lilac-Breasted Roller
This is Kenya's National Bird
The Lilac-breasted Roller, Coracias caudatus, is a member of the roller family of birds. It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula, preferring open woodland and savanna; it is largely absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches conspicuously at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, lizards, scorpions, snails, small birds and rodents moving about at ground level. Nesting takes place in a natural hole in a tree where a clutch of 2–4 eggs is laid, and incubated by both parents, who are extremely aggressive in defence of their nest, taking on raptors and other birds. During the breeding season the male will rise to great heights, descending in swoops and dives, while uttering harsh, discordant cries. The sexes are alike in colouration. Juveniles do not have the long tail feathers.
13-MAR-2010
An old Single Tusker
This old elephant was off by itself in the trees. Apparently, when an elephant gets too old to be of any use to the herd, it will go off by itself to die. This one definitely shows it's age...look at the shredding on it's ears and the missing tusk..
13-MAR-2010
Waterworks...
It may have been old and alone, but the waterworks were still functioning, it seems.
13-MAR-2010
Smile!
This old one was off a ways from the other loner, grazing in a small stand of bush. We got very close to it, but not too close. Tom - our driver - said the loners were unpredictable. No problem, I'll keep my distance...
Those tusks must be about 5 feet long!!
13-MAR-2010
The Family That Eats Together...
The Family That Eats Together...must be happier.
we got back onto the prairie, and came upon this small grouping of Ostrich. It\s fascinating to watch the many ways they can move their necks and flutter their wings. Of course, it's hard to show the movement with a still camera.
13-MAR-2010
I can't count high enough!!
We went a little further, and hit the jackpot!! There was a HUGE herd of elephants grazing their way across to the waterhole.
The Vernon Viper was in awe, and so were the rest of us. We counted more than 50 elephants together, with babies of all sized throughout the group, too.
An absolutely amazing sight!!
13-MAR-2010
A Sight to Remember
Ashley was definitely "makin' history" for us. You can see the elephants stretching off to the horizon.
13-MAR-2010
Make my Day!!
As usual, we weren't the only ones to be clustering around the herd. Vans were all over the track, and the elephants were coming right between us on their way to the watering hole.
They definitely aren't tame, but they're so used to the vehicles that they just ignore them. On the other hand, if a person got OUT of a vehicle, a different story would happen...
13-MAR-2010
Clustered together..
Here's a wide-angle shot of part of the herd. You can see two distinct young ones in here. Just for perspective, that baby is about 4 feet high..
The other noticible part of this scene is the birds. They're all over.
