“We were aboard a bus called ‘Bush Senior,’ perhaps a clue to its age. Some passengers were singing along to the catchy African tunes on the radio and dancing in the aisle in amongst their goats and hens. Passing through Tsavo Game Park about half way to Mombasa, they fell silent; by now, it was dark and we were hurtling straight through a herd of elephants. Somewhere near the town of Voi, the driver knocked down a zebra. All the while, a number of passengers were sitting on the roof of the bus.... It was like a night-time animal safari. Zebras up close, by the way, look just like stripy donkeys. We were staying in a simple chalet at Tiwi beach, ten kilometres south of Mombasa. The accommodation was fine, although it came as a surprise to find saltwater flowing from the taps. Tiwi beach is everyone’s image of Paradise—long stretches of fine white sand, warm turquoise sea, coconut trees, and empty of people. We had it to ourselves; the big resort hotels are ages from Tiwi.MoreLessRead More Read Less
