January 25th was not only Abeed’s champagne birthday but it was also Harish Masa’s 50th. So the entire family headed to a place called Sweet Waters – a tented resort right on a game drive in Kenya right at the equator. It is operated by Serena and very beautiful. It was nice that I could be there with the family to celebrate.
One of the first things we did was have lunch at the Ol Pejeta House, which is a famous mansion nearby. It was enormous, I felt like I was in one of those movies where everyone is a miniature version of themselves.
The night of Harish Masa’s birthday we had a sundowner at a nearby Hippo Hide. A sundowner basically means having drinks at the sun sets. We then headed back to Sweet Waters to have dinner and a cake, which was brought in by the staff who sang in Swahili.
The next morning right as the sun was coming up we had a great view of Mt. Kenya, another mountain I hope to climb one day. That day I took a visit to the equator. It’s nothing spectacular, just a sign on the road, but still really cool to say I’ve been there. Later we went on a short drive to see the animals. I was lucky enough to come across a white rhino which was tamed enough for me to pet.
