Recent Kenya Trip Photos
Just got back from a 2-week Kenya excursion. Did a 5-day safari (Mt. Kenya, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara) and then 4 days in Lamu (Kizingo) and 3 days in Mombasa (Club Sun N' Sand). Here is an abbreviated version of the pics...

If you have any questions, I'm more than willing to help out. Before I left, I found this forum to be really helpful, so I figured I'd help out as well.

I actually had 2 cameras with me: a point-and-shoot Sony DSC-P200 Cyber-shot 7.2 MP and a Canon EOS Digital Rebel using a 75-300 lens.

Thank you very much!
I am to be seen in Lamu and Mombasa in June next year. If you have the time and opportunity I would love to hear what you ended up doing these places (remember you asking for tips). Did you go to Tamarind restaurant in Mombasa, Gedi, marine parks, Shimba Hills? All pictures will be greatly appreciated.

Mombasa was at the end of our trip, so we ended up staying at the Club Sun N' Sand resort the majority of the time, except to go to the Tamarind for a deep sea fishing excursion (6 hours in 15 foot swells and didn't catch anything, needless to say it was frustrating), so I really don't have any pics of Mombasa.
By the way, with regards to accomodations along the way, we stayed at the Mountain Lodge at Mt. Kenya, which was really great, and at the Sarova Lion Hill and Sarova Mara, both of which were outstanding. If I could do it over, I would have stayed at the Sarova facility in Mombasa as well (known as WhiteSands).
In Lamu, we stayed at Kizingo, and yes, the owners are a riot. They were very accomodating with the food every night; we practically requested what we wanted for dinner. While in Lamu, we did absolutely nothing, except for a tour of the town (a half day adventure) and a 3-hour walk from Kizingo to the Peponi Hotel, which also was very nice.
