Weekend roadtrip

This weekend, we headed four hours north to Nanyuki, where PiAf fellows (and good friends!) Eva and Christina work for the BOMA Project, and to Mpala Research Center, where Sally (also a good friend) works. We did some quality road tripping (see bumpy video below), saw gorgeous wildlife (I fed a hornbill peanuts from my hand this morning!), and did some hanging out and catching up. As always, I was grateful to get out of the Nairobi chaos and see more of this beautiful country!

We took a matatu from Nairobi to Nanyuki;  I sat shotgun on the ride home and snapped this pic as the sun was setting. Matatus don't make for the smoothest of rides, but they're a fun way to travel with friends and see the country. The video below was taken on our matatu ride out to Mpala, where we saw giraffe, dik-dik, impala, warthogs, mongeese, and even some elephants!
