Honeymoon in Kenya! Part 3a: Oronkai

Tuesday, September 10


Google maps estimated that from Kitale to Oronkai village would take 4 hours. That's assuming roads are fully paved from point A to point B! In reality, it took 8 hours by car.

Almost "home"! Heading toward the second hill on the left.
Road congestion

We spent the rest of the day just resting and catching up with Emmanuel and his family. The following photos will be out of order from the four days we stayed here, so that the next blog posts will just be about the school.

A female calf was born while we were there! Emmanuel says they've named her Linda because I was there. If it were a boy he would have named it Dan. :-)

We chose to stay in the hut on the right. Two bunk beds separated by a partial wall fit inside. 

View toward the path leading to the road (opposite the huts). The cement fixture on the right is a water tank. 

Sun is starting to set!

Cattle are still very valuable in the Maasai culture and lifestyle. We drank fresh (boiled) cow's milk with chai every day... several times a day...

Larusi is Emmanuel and Lilian's youngest child at 3.5 yrs old!
