That’s local prices. Well, local for Serena.
Price paid last time is here.
The US$200 Million Dollar Photograph Initiative - otherwise known as a fantastic waste of time and a great excuse for wealthy Kenyan businessmen to have an all expenses paid trip to the Maasai Mara which will be later shown to their fellow countrymen as a look-how-bloody-great-we-all-are 10 minute long Celtel commercial on KBC1.
The British Business Association, in conjunction with the American Chamber of Commerce and the East Africa Association are conducting an event called “A Meeting in the Mara – The US$200 Million Dollar Photograph Initiative” on 17/18th May. 200 of the top business executives, international tour operators and international press corps will depart from Air Kenya at Wilson Airport to engage in the taking of one symbolic photograph to be distributed worldwide demonstrating that Kenya is safe and open for business in an effort to kick-start the tourism business and recover some of the lost revenues.

Points to those who can spot the fake Maasai. Extra points if you guess his real tribe.
Minus points if you start commenting on the nipple.

This has done rather well and is popping up quite a bit on the interweb. Thank you Emily.
I’ll be in Nairobi on Saturday, and hopefully back in the Mara at the beginning of next week.
Torching Porches
- Hello, I need a tent.
- What kind of tent?
- A two man tent.
- Where will you be using it?
- Well, it won't be me using it, but it'll be used when grazing cattle.
- Where exactly?
- The Maasai Mara. So it's sunny but it likes to rain.
- What about this tent with the porch?
- Ah yes, that would be a good idea, as he can cook in there if it's raining.
- Yes, with a good camping stove you could open up both doors for proper ventilation, and the ground sheet is also fireproofed. What kind of stove would he be using?
- Um. More like an open fire.
- I cannot, under any circumstance, condone the use of an open fire in a tent. What about a tent without a porch?
- Yes, that's probably a better idea.
