Counting down the days...

Ahhhhh!

Only 2 days till I bugger off to the continent of Africa...

A somewhat emotional drive to Heathrow, 9 hour/4263 mile flight to Nairobi, followed by 50minutes air transfer to Kilimanjaro airport and I shall arrive (no doubt knackered and a little scared) in Tanzania!! :)

For the 3 months I'm away I'll be living on the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro and the itinarary is summit like this:

1 month working in a local school
Kidia project for 1 week: working with locals
Ndarkwai Ranch project for 1 week: dedicated to wildlife and habitat rehabilitation.
Visiting and living with local Masai tribes
5 day safari
Climbing Kilimanjaro - taking approx 9 days
Zanzibar Island to finish the trip off!

I'll hopefully be able to use this blog regularly to keep you updated and to no doubt bore you with my stories :] so keep an eye on it.

Lots of love,

Sophieeeee xxx
