Our trip began with an hour and a half long flight from Toronto to New York. We stayed overnight but sadly we landed too close to sunset to see any of New York’s famous sites. The next morning we flew 14 hours to Nairobi, Kenya.
Once we landed we went through customs and got our visas then grabbed our bags from baggage claim and went outside to wait for the airport shuttle to our hotel. The traffic was bad so the shuttle was twenty minutes late and the ride to the hotel took over an hour.
When we got to our hotel we were supposed to try and stay up to try and get on the time zone but we all fell asleep anyway as we hadn't been able to sleep on the plane. We had landed around noon the next day with the time change from New York and we woke up to an alarm set for 5 so we could have dinner with Rahul, Dad’s friend who had arranged our safari (the trip for us with the lodges, guides, and food included). On our other trips we booked everything ourselves along the way but in Africa we needed it organized ahead of time. We had a great Chinese dinner with Rahul and his 4 year old son Udai (who already spoke 3 languages!). After dinner we walked back to our hotel and collapsed again.
