Arusha (Tanzania) to Nairobi (Kenya) – Upperhill Campsite and Backpackers
We were picked up at 7:30am and driven to the Nairobi shuttle bus that had been booked for us by our hotel – the grand distance of about 300 metres – if we’d known it was that close we would have walked!
The roadworks out of Arusha made the trip very rough for quite a while. Not far out of Arusha we were able to see Mount Kilimanjaro out the window, fortunately there wasn’t too much cloud at the time, but by the time we reached the Kenyan border Kili was no longer visible.
We arrived into some very bad Nairobi traffic. Our bus driver tried to drop us off in town rather than takes us to our accommodation, fortunately the drop-off was written on our ticket so he couldn’t get out of it that easily. Too bad he didn’t know the way though – between that and the traffic it took him more than an hour to get us to Upperhill Campsite and Backpackers, where we settled into our 6 bed room (just the two of us though!).
We are only using Kenya as a transit country, so we spent the evening researching our onwards trip to see the gorillas in Rwanda, and picking up travel tips from some of the others staying at Upperhill.
