Today was checkout day. We had a relatively later start. We had discussed and the camp manger had offered to have their staff direct our driver to a gorge nearby where baboons live. It was 5 mins from camp. We were to see that and then start our drive to Nairobi. After breakfast, checkout etc. we headed to elephant gorge. We didn’t see any baboons but did get a fantastic view of Mt Kilimanjaro! We were so lucky. Our driver said that many tourists have to leave without a view if it’s covered in clouds.

The drive back to Nairobi was uneventful . Long for sure. We reached Nairobi at ~ 3 pm and our driver took us to a strip mall with all Indian restaurants and shops. Got a decent lunch, service speed something to be desired. Got back to our apartment and rested. That evening the plan was to have dinner with Vatsan uncle and his daughters. We took an Uber to their place, 10 mins away.

They truly are wonderful hosts. Dinner was kicked off with chaat that I over-ate. Dinner was bisibele baath. I was too full from all the chaat and rest was more like tasting. after dinner, some chatting, Shruthi and Shalini dropped us back to our apartments. The next day was driving to lake naivasha and from there to Masai Mara. So we had to pack for 3 nights and checkout from the apartment in the morning again.
