The Journey to Nairobi

All were pumped up and boarded the bus to the airport with full excitement. What lay ahead was beyond anyone’s imagination……


Our journey on the flight was disturbing, not only physically but also mentally. All the kids exhausted us physically and Aananya’s high fever drained us mentally. Her body temperature was so high that we had to do cold sponge mid air. By the time our flight landed we had no other option but to run to the hospital even before we could keep our luggage in the apartment.


Thanks to our friends who took care of Aan while we were at the hospital and an Indian couple from Ericsson (Nairobi) who were with us at the hospital till all the tests and medications were done and given to Aananya. We took a clear chit from the Doctor since the next day we were flying to Massai Mara which was miles away from civilization and the only way to reach a Doctor would be to take a chartered flight. Thankfully Aananya’s fever was under control and we decided to take our flight to Massai Mara. Something I could have never dreamt of going to a few years back but always had a desire to see.
