End of Tour Summary - Nairobi, Kenya
We had originally planned our fourth tour in the Foreign Service to be in Nairobi, Kenya for three years. It got off to a rocky start during the first pandemic summer of 2020, but safaris were a great place to practice social distancing. Unfortunately, our three-year tour was cut short after only 16 months just as the neighboring countries were starting to open back up for travel.
Kenyan Safaris
In Swahili, "safari" means "journey". The national park system of Kenya is a global treasure.
Here are our stories from our journeys through each of them.
