Why spend 1000's on a safari when you can DIY....We get a Mutatu (overcrowded minivan) up to Naivasha, descending into the Kenyan Rift Valley spread out below Nairobi. It's great to be in a tent, with a pool, even if the food is terrible and the place full of those damned overland trucks full of gap year Aussies too scared to get on a bus.
The reason for being here though is not simply to get drunk on cheap wine and cider, but to do a cycle safari. Cycling through Giraffes, zebra and warthogs is surreal. Tom's 5 quid bike is held together with plasters and promptly falls apart. When we don't take a guide they send us in the wrong direction, thus proving correct their assertions that we'd get'lost and confused'.
When we get back they ask us to pay 24quid for a 1hr boat ride. Apparently we're paying London prices out here.
