Day 1: Ngong House, Nairobi

The "Safari Six" are a group of Brownell Travel Advisors who are making their way across Kenya over the next two weeks. Read on for a journal of their adventures each day!
We made it! When we finaly arrived at the Jomo Kenyatta Airport, staff were waiting to meet us at customs, and led us straight to a vehicle for a short journey to the Ngong House.

Ngong House is a rather mad, eccentric hotel and the brainchild of our good friends the Verleysens. The rooms are set high on stilts and are constructed out of the salvaged wood from coastal dhow sailing boats. They all command fabulous views of the Ngong Hills, the hills that made famous by Karen Blixen’s book, “Out of Africa”.

It is an ideal place to spend the night before our early morning flight up in to the bush. We have already enjoyed a fabulous supper and cant wait to climb into the large comfortable beds! Stay tuned for more to come in a day or two. Next we are headed to the Laikipia region of Kenya.
