Isiolo to Mountain Lodge
We have a relaxed morning and by noon we pack to drive closer to Mount Kenya, which we can see in the distance. We had a wonderful stay at Gaddisa and will recommend it to anyone who needs time out.
Our drive to Mount Kenya takes us to breathtaking scenes over the Rift Valley. We cross the equator which is exciting and reach our destination in less than 2 hours: Rock Mountain Lodge at the foot of Mt Kenya. The campsite is beautiful: green grass, exceptionally clean bathrooms, hot water showers and a small barbecue contraption on which I’m going to make a
real ‘potjie’. Hugo has helped me to put our meat in a marinade, we have fresh veggies – it is going to be delicious…and it is! We finish, between the 4 of us, a chock-full potjie - I have
to fight to save some for Sammie - who still does not have dog food.
It is a beautiful, windstill evening. All of us are getting more excited and ready for our last stretch home. Lighter travel days make such a difference and now, in retrospect, we realize how hard and grueling the trip from the Kenyan border was, but we did it!
