The Road to Work by Plane

There will be no Maasai news for a while as we are travelling until early July. We are very much looking forward to catching up with many of you in person. Watch this space - we'll be back!

Perks of the Job

Sometimes the heat and dust and discomfort can seem never ending and then........


This little lad was wondering who was invading his spot.


The invasion soon paid off!


And we loved his spot.

No Costa Coffee but....

... we do stop for tea breaks - and yes we did drink it!

And some roads are not clear at all!

Some roads are clear and straight

Traffic jams on the road to work

Never a dull road

Our road to work is always different. It can be tarmac with pedestrians, cows, goats, buses, lorries, cars, bicycles or donkeys to negotiate. It can be a dry earth road with thorn trees, bushes, ostrich, zebra, giraffe, gazelle to negotiate and dust....dust.....dust... which swirls up, in and around the car, and obscures the way ahead. It can be a dry river bed, with boulders, rocks and gulleys to negotiate. Or mud, glorious mud and then you hold on as you slip and slide in partial control wondering whether you’ll get there today – or tomorrow. And sometimes there’s no road at all...... and always with goats, cows and donkeys!
