We have this time to arrive from Douala,
Cameroon. If we're lucky and arrive early, we'll
visit Zanzibar. Otherwise, we'll be spending our time
in Cameroon.
Crossing back into Kenya from Uganda,
we find ourselves in the heart of Kenya's western highlands.
The climate is much cooler here than on the southern
plains. The closest town is Eldoret.
We visit the Kakamega Forest, this county's
last remaining tropical rain forest. Then we move on
to Lake Bogoria where we see flamingos, geysers, and
a carcass in a tree.
Moving south east we reach the atmospheric
town of Nakuru, Kenya's 4th largest. The big draw is
Lake Nakuru National Park, which has prolific birdlife,
rhino, giraffe, flamingoes, leopard and more. Continuing
a 'lake' theme, we spend two nights at Elsamere on Lake
Naivasha, a conservation centre and game sanctuary.
