Itinerary: Days 60-71 (we are on Day 65)

Considering the dramatic, and a bit sudden, change in venues/continents/cultures, we thought it would be helpful to get up a quick little post outlining our first couple of weeks in Kenya and Tanzania. We will be writing about many of the things that have already transpired (spoiler alert: all good thus far, knocking on wood) and those that are in the near future.

On day 60, we arrive in Nairobi at our lodging, Wildebeast Eco-Camp around midnight.

Day 61, we wandered around Nairobi in search of supplies and plane tickets to Madagascar in January. We secured the supplies but no plane tickets, as Air Madagascar has temporarily suspended its flights from Nairobi until MArch (why, we are not sure).

Day 62: the Overland Truck tour began (separate post coming in full detail outlining what this means exactly)! We drove from Nairobi to "Snake Camp" an overland truck stop-off point 25 minutes outside of Arusha, Tanzania (the mountian above is Mr Meru, 2nd highest moutain in Tanzania, which stands tall over Arusha).

Day 63: Safari in Lake Manyari, Tanzania (more on these next 2 days to come, with lots of pictures!)

Day 64: Safari in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

Day 65: Arusha

Day 66: Arusha to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro -- the Continent's tallest us peak at 19K feet.

Day 67: Dar Es Salaam

Day 68-71: Zanzibar
