Thanks for that. We just looked at the weather, it is the heavy rainy season, and the Peponi on Lamu is closed. We are going to try later in the year. I did a budget safari last time I was in Kenya, and it was still amazing.

I was in Nairobi in 1995, and it was rough then. Being a bit younger, I didn't think twice about walking from my hotel to the Hyatt for cocktails at night.

I do recall reading a story about someone attacking a tourist and being beaten severely when the lady called out for help. That made me feel better back then.
