Blogging through Maasailand: June 13, 2009 - June 30

Join me, Sharon K. Schafer, on a virtual safari in this daily travel blog featuring my photos and reflections from Serian Camp, Kenya. This wilderness camp is set alongside a secluded valley flanking the Mara River and close to the Siria Escarpment. This tranquil setting borders the Masai Mara National Park on the northernmost extension of the Serengeti.

Day 2: Arrival Nairobi

Reached Nairobi International about 7:30 pm. We were relieved to see a small 8 X 11 printed sign held high above the many heads reading “Sharon Shafer” and greeted warmly by Kevin and John. Our driver John and our tour guide and problem solver Kevin were both kind and skilled at making us feel safe and well taken care of. With them we had our ride to the Fairview Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya.

Nairobi is a sprawling city of 3.5 million people and is the capital of the country. Modern towering buildings of glass and steel mark the city center. Pulled up to the Fairview Hotel, a beautiful example of classic 1940’s stone buildings situated on five acres of gardens. It is truly one of Nairobi’s finest historic hotels. Got a late night Sushi dinner and climbed the well-worn regal staircase to our room and bed.
