Memories of Kenya

Daniel and I spent an amazing two and a half weeks in Kenya over Christmas and New Year's. We had been planning this trip for the past four years and were finally able to make it. We stayed with Daniel's brother, Jonathan and family at their home in Nairobi. His parents also stayed at the house and his sister's family joined us for a few days as well. It was great to get to spend the time together. While we were in Kenya the whole family traveled to Ngilai, in the Samburu region in Northern Kenya. Daniel's family lived there for three years when he was little. We visited Kitich Camp, where we went hiking in the mountains and also spent a night in the house Daniel's dad had built and they lived in. We then flew to Malindi, on the Indian Ocean and stayed four nights in a guest house. While we were in Nairobi, Daniel and I were able to visit the giraffe center and fed giraffes, and the animal orphanage, where we saw orphaned elephants and a rhino. We toured the hangers for both Africa Inland Mission (AIM) and Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) and Daniel showed me around Rosslyn Academy, where he attended school. We also camped at a game park in Nakuru and went on two safari drives. It was an incredible trip! Kenya is a beautiful country, with beautiful people, animals and landscapes. It was special for me to see where Daniel had grown up and where the rest of his family currently live. I can't wait to go back!
