Summary Of The Itinerary

Holiday Title: Following in the Adamson's Footsteps

Countries Visited: Kenya


Day 1

Arrive into Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta Airport.

House of Waine was originally built in the 1970s as a private home.

Upon entering the gates one is transported to another place, one with a gentler, quieter pace, a private retreat.
