<p>Today, we’re embarking on a journey to the east of Africa, to a country of spectacular wild and natural landscapes, where the wildlife is abundant, the famous Big 5 roaming free. A country of great plains, mountains, lush forest, and white sand beaches. It has captivated and travellers adventurers the world over. It is of course, Kenya.</p><br><p>On today’s episode, we’ll be hearing first from some of my previous podcast guests who have chosen parts of Kenya in <em>their</em> travel diaries, wildlife cameraman Gavin Thurston returns to the podcast to share his experiences having spent so much of his career travelling around and working in Kenya, and we’ll hear from one of my guests coming up on Season 6, too.&nbsp;</p><br><p>We’ll be heading on a tour of the country, starting in its capital Nairobi and ending in Samburu National Park in the north.
