Out of Nairobi pretty gently. It is Sunday and the main road south towards the Tanzania border, and then on to Arusha, is far from frenetic, but busy enough. Stop after only a couple of miles to top the truck up with diesel, and we grockles hop out to grab some water and other goodies for the day. First impression of Kenyan highways? What are all these sleeping policemen doing here? It's a major trunk road!
Every hamlet along the way has its row of tiny roadside businesses, all in premises so small and ramshackle that it seems impossible for anything to actually get completed in there. Carwashes are also conspicuous in their number. Oh and weddings, dozens of them. In Arusha a longer stop at a supermarket for victuals pretty much rounds off the day, and we complete the final few miles to the snake park campsite for overnight. As it turns out we get put up in basic chalets rather than under canvas.
