Kenya: Sweetwaters
I boarded the plane in Seattle at 2pm, flew 9hrs to Amsterdam & another 9hrs from Amsterdam to Nairobi & arrived at the Stanley Hotel in Nairobi at 11pm the next day. Can you say jet lag?!

There's a Chimpanzee sanctuary & was also home to Morani, the orphaned Black Rhino (who recently passed away of old age.) Since it's a private reserve, I was able to go on a night drive to see lions hunt (they didn't catch anything.) This is a place I'd like to stay for a few more days.
