I went on a fantastic weekend trip to Lake Naivasha – a mere 2 hour drive from Nairobi, and an utterly stunning, lush, green, peaceful oasis with tons of wildlife and things to do. On the drive up from Nairobi, … Continue reading
Camp Carnelley’s was the place that I stayed at for my weekend in Naivasha, and came at the recommendation of several friends. Having stayed there, I can understand why so many people recommended it, and thought it was worthy of a short review here in my blog.
Right on the lake front, Carnelley’s is reasonably priced and has a range of options for all budgets, from a private banda that sleeps 6, to single and twin rooms, to dormitories and camping, the accommodation goes from 12,000 Kenyan shillings per night to 800 for a camping spot.
Actually it’s TINY.
Especially in the aid sector.
Especially if you’re in Nairobi.
As one colleague put it, everyone passes through Nairobi eventually.

On a recent trip to Nairobi National Park I had a lot of fun spotting giraffes, and playing hide and seek with them…
This was the first one I spotted, and he was VERY good at hiding, right in the middle of the trees.
Well many of you will have seen how deeply in love I fell with Senegal on my recent work trip there. It’s stunningly gorgeous, and fun, laid-back, and relaxed. I could happily live there forever.
However, almost as soon as I arrived home, I barely had time to unpack, cuddle the cats, and get a new visa before I was headed for Nairobi, where I’ll be based for the next 5 weeks or so.
Here I am at the Kenyan Embassy collecting my visa…
Can’t wait to go looking for giraffes! I bloody love them!
