Honestly, I did not plan to go to Kenya. I had wanted to go to Kenya, but research had shown me that a trip to Kenya was a wealthy persons journey and far beyond my means.
I was actually considering Peru. Airfare to Peru was $800 and costs on the ground seemed manageable. Airfare to Kenya was $1700 and a low budget safari is $200 per day. But when Cayelle gave me a tip on a return airfare to Nairobi for $775, I found I could not resist the siren song of a cheap ride.
So I am off to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar, but not in the accepted fashion. Finances dictate that I shall not be cloistered and pampered. I will crash at the dives, ride the buses, and eat on the streets.
I may not see all the animals that I wish, but I will have ample opportunity to observe the genus that most fascinates me; my fellow human beings.
