We are all packed and ready to go, leaving tomorrow, Saturday, July 1, 2023, for Nairobi, Kenya! We have successfully streamlined our belongings to meet the requirement of 33 pounds per person baggage limitation (which includes luggage, personal items, gear, purse, cameras, phones, etc.., – in other words, everything we are taking must meet the weight requirement!
How does one get from Portland, OR to Nairobi? We are flying on Delta and KLM, with a 10-hour flight from Portland to Amsterdam. We will have a 3.5-hour layover in Amsterdam and then will enjoy an 8-hour flight to Nairobi.
Upon arriving in Nairobi (#1 on the map below), we will enjoy a wonderful time with four other friends (two of whom we’ve known for years, and two are new friends!). Before heading out on safari, we’ll spend one day in Nairobi (see my next blog for details!). As indicated in the map below, we’ll be visiting different parts of Kenya and Tanzania, finishing our trip with a visit to Zanzibar! I’ll be writing about each of them as we visit!
