![]() As we began the game drive, I expressed this to Benson, who assured me that he would do his absolute best, though we both knew that no one can guarantee an animal encounter. But what I really wanted to see was a rhinoceros-the only so-called big five animal I’d yet to glimpse in the wild. We immediately began our search for giraffes, hippos, and ostriches. ![]() ![]() We drove out of the airport, making our way past street food carts, and arrived at the park about 45 minutes later. I had already lost a little time on my way there with a slight delay, so we adjusted and decided to just do the game drive since that was the most important thing to me. Our original plan was to take a city tour in Nairobi with a stop at a giraffe sanctuary before heading to the Nairobi National Park for the game drive. (To gain entry into Kenya, visitors from the US need to apply for an electronic travel authorization in advance, which they can do here.) He was the one who sent me guidance on what to bring, in part by including an impressively direct note on my itinerary that said “memories are worthless, a camera is a very important companion.” Anyway, he was also the one who put me in touch with Benson and had him waiting for me at the airport when I arrived, visa in hand. Proprietor Wycliffe Odera then helped me create a custom itinerary that could be adapted if things were slightly delayed. I applied for a visa and prayed that it would be approved on time. Game Whisperers Adventure had apparently been offering such an itinerary since 1995-and it was still only $120.
