Embarking on a journey to Africa

The time is very near, in fact in less than 24 hrs, me and my friend Ilyia will be on our way to Nairobi, Kenya. We are going on an organized tour for 3 weeks through Kenya and Tanzania ... should be awesome! Through most of the jorney we will be camping out and making our way on a large truck. Hopefully we'll get to see the culture, meet some locals and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery and the animals we are bound to see on the safari.

Our last minute preparations were hectic ... we had to obtain two visas in a span of less than two weeks and to do that we had to send our passports to the respective embassies in Ottawa; luckily we made it on time. We also obtained several vaccination shots and other medication. Lastly we went on a shopping spree to buy everything that could be useful on the trip ... we stopped just short of obtaining water purifying pills :)

I'll try to post more about the trip when I get back and hopefully I'll have a few interesting pictures to share.
