BEFORE WE BEGIN...
Tents were spacious and clean (swept and mopped, every day). A maximum of 4 persons were provided each a bed and armoire. Sheets were re-tucked every day with blankets and pillows re-staged.
Food was plentiful, un-processed and all cooked on open fire. There was no refrigeration.
Water was plentiful for drinking and limited for other purposes.

RIFT VALLEY
Kenya is where humanity first evolved. Scientists have found over 230 skeletons of early human beings. This is why Kenya, and particularly a great five-thousand-mile slash in the Earth’s crust called the “Rift Valley”, is sometimes called “the cradle of humanity”.
