Kenya

The first time I went to Kenya was in 1987, with my parents. We visited Aberdare National Park, climbed Mount Kenya (partly) and camped in Masai Mara National Reserve. We visited Kenya together in 2012, when my wife Cathy taught at Moi University in Eldoret for a while. Our bond with this beautiful country became even stronger when we started supporting a family in Nakuru in 2013. We visited them in 2017 and 2023. More about that in a future Blog. Here are pictures from our 3 recent trips.

The Thorn Tree Cafe in the Stanley Hotel, 1987. The famous tree has been used for decades to exchange messages.
