Anybody here travel to Kenya?

Ever since I was a kid, I've dreamed of visiting Keyna, seeing where Born Free took place, and Elsa the Lioness' gravesite.

Anybody here ever do such a wonderful thing?

3 years in Peace Corps in Southern Africa. Had my Dad not flown over to travel with me for several weeks it would certainly have been longer. But how could I pass up traveling with my Dad? Anyway, it was spectacular. Amazing landscape, wildlife and culture.
