Hell's Gate, Kenya

I landed in Nairobi 3 days ago.

The name is exactly as it sounds. It’s a hellish-ly parched national park where giraffe, antelope, and much less docile beasts cross your path as you bike the 15km loop. The distance isn’t bad, unless you meet two well-intentioned Brits who convince to you stray off the conventional path onto an uphill route for the next two hours, on single-speed bike.
