We went to Nairobi National Park for one reason – a photo. The photo is a familiar scene in Africa. A lion laying in the grass making eyes at the photographer. The backdrop to this photo is one of the largest cities in Africa. The moment we saw it we knew we had to go to Nairobi National…
The last leg of our recent European adventure ended with the perfect ski holiday in Switzerland.
