Last night I met my friend Neka in Dar es Salaam. This morning we were scheduled to fly into Ruaha National Park for our first safari. The flight was delayed and when we finally took off I wasn't as nervous as I expected to be. The flight was going to take us group by group to the different parks. I was unaware of this arrangement.
For the first two stops I was alright but by the third stop I was not feeling good at all and wondering what I was going to do as I didn't have any plastic bags. Thankfully there were some bags in the seat pocket labelled "The Chunder Bag" in English and "Mifuko ya kutupikia" in Swahili which apparently means "vomiting bag".
I used all three and was feeling less than fine when we landed in Ruaha. I wanted to cry when Doto, our driver, said we'd be going on safari before heading to the camp. I wanted to go to bed!
The drive was good though- saw a few elephants and lots of Maasai giraffe.
The lodge is breathtaking. Our banda (room) is quite impressive. Minus the unwanted guest - two geckos that Neka has named Tim and Albert, I have no complaints. I'll be sure to post pictures at some point.
