Two of my good friends (Eva and Christina, pictured at their home at right) and fellow Fellows work at the BOMA Project and live in Nanyuki, about 4 hours north of Nairobi. Rebecca and I visited a few weeks back and had a great time seeing their home and the town they work in. Nanyuki lies in the foothills of Mt. Kenya and sits on the equator (see the picture below!), making it a stunning spot and a perfect base for BOMA's operations. We had a great weekend visiting them and our friend and fellow Sally, who works 45 minutes away at the Mpala Research Station, which looks a lot like the set from the Lion King and took us on a game drive around the property. We watched the sunset looking out over sprawling hills and flatlands that are home to all manner of Kenyan wildlife.
