Destination Africa

 pakdokter and partner in transit
 at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport




18th August 2012

Pakdokter's partner has always wanted to do the safari in East  Africa - at Serengeti and Masai Mara - where she would be able to make full use of the cameras she had collected all these years in  pursuit of her interest in photography. Pakdokter had come across the promotion of 'safari holidays' in Kenya and Tanzania earlier this year and had booked the tour then. The long Eid holidays happened to co-incide with the months of the 'animal migration' in Serengeti and Masai Mara. So we picked this holiday period to make it to Africa.
 
Our journey started on Saturday evening - leaving KLIA on the Thai Airways flight to Bangkok. At Suvarnabhumi Airport, we checked in for the Kenya Airways flight to Nairobi which left just after midnight. The almost 9 hour flight took us to Nairobi - arriving at the Jomo Kenyatta Airport at around 6 am on Sunday morning. It was quite chilly in the early hours - with temperatures around 15degrees celcius or so.
