Heading for safari, we overnight in Nairobi's Safari Park Hotel & Casino. It's like we took off from Mwanza and landed in Vegas. There was even a floor show that I will politely describe as "stereotyped": African-themed modern dance in fishnet stockings. Dinner was excellent though and I've included a picture of the menu. At our hotel in Nansio the "menu" was a guy in a bloody apron who didn't speak any English, and, was grumpy because you interrupted him slaughtering a goat, who'd come to the table and tersely say "ugali, wali, m'buzi." Or, if you were lucky, Angelina was working and you'd get the menu in English: "ugali, rice, meat of cow, meat of goat." Here, the menu only hints at the feast to follow and in case you were having a hard time choosing between the pork, goat, chicken, camel, turkey, lamb, beef, ribs, sausage or crocodile don't worry, you're getting them all, served on a sizzling cast-iron plate at your table from a sword. We're anxious to get out of the city, though and skip the song & dance to catch some sleep looking forward to our morning trip to the Maasai Mara.
