The morning was spent packing up but there was no rush as the short flight to Nairobi wasn’t due to depart until late afternoon. It had turned out to be a very relaxing few days but time to say goodbye to Mombasa and get to Nairobi. I received an email from the cargo agents telling me that Simba had arrived and that they hoped to have Customs clearance by the following day.
I came across this chap on the way to the airport and wondered if it would catch on at home!
Despite the lower cloud cover, Mount Kilimanjaro was looking quite spectacular and brought back many memories of previous trips there, the last one being only two years ago with Kerrie.
It was about eight o’clock by the time I eventually got to the hotel, even though it was close by the airport. There were a good few American tourists hanging around the lobby having just returned from the Rift Valley where the great wildebeest migration is happening at the moment.
I started prepping the pannier bags in my room but decided to hold back until I actually had Simba…
