“Die Fahrt war lang..aber das weiß man ja vorher... Unser Fahrer..Peter..war leider sehr lustlos...der ganze Ausflug verlief leider nicht so wie beschrieben... Das Observatorium wurde nicht von ihm angefahren...ebenso gab es keine Mittagspause im Park...bis wir uns umsehen waren wir wieder am Gate..dort baten wir den Fahrer wenigstens anzuhalten damit wir auf die Toilette könnten. Auf Anfrage hieß es dann wir gegen später essen....erst das Masai-Dorf. War ganz interessant..aber einmal reicht. Die Sachen dort werden maßlos überteuert verkauft meiner Meinung nach...aber wenn man das Dorf damit unterstützt....ok . Danach ging's weiter...und um 15.30 gab's dann endlich etwas zu essen für uns Wenn...”
