Day 17 Thursday 24th SeptemberJohno says:The 9 hour shuttle bus journey from Moshi to Nairobi stangely wasn't as grawling as anticipated.

Day 1. Johno Says: We have successfully landed in Nairobi for our first stop amongst the chaos and smog, arrived at the hotel once we had battled through one hour of 7 lane traffic with cars that would make even Jon Bartlett's beaten up old VW Scirocco look decent enough to be on the road!! Now we are building up our energy for the next seven days which will see us take on a couple of game drives across the Serengeti National Park!! Bye for now
