Paul, Judy, Olivia, Brad and Amy arrived safely in Nairobi and we immediately jumped into our private charter Cessna with my friend Tom, our pilot, and flew direct to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. It was a gloomy start to the flight but all quickly changed as we crossed the equator and the clouds parted to reveal Mount Kenya rising above the Rift Valley with its verdant slopes and cragged peaks. Cruising over indigenous forest, trout filled tarns and expansive wheat fields we descended to Lewa airstrip whilst catching a quick glimpse of a few elephant and buffalo herded around the swamp.
