What's this trip I'm taking and how am I preparing for it?

I realise that there is a 4-year hole in this blog that I will promptly and quickly fill later. During these 4 years of black-out I finally went to Mongolia. On my trip there I came across a bus full on nice, funny young (my young hein... 30-ish) people. There were traveling through Asia in a big bus from Dragoman.
I came back home and checked this out and vowed to make a trip with them

Unfortunately going through big continents in a bus requires some time, time I did not have as an employee. But I'm leaving my job and going back to school so it is time for me to take that bus across a continent that I have not visited for 22 years!
... I guess Nairobi's airport is a little bit bigger that the 1 room it used to be.

I'm almost fully vaccinated against all known diseases. I'm far away from having pack my bag and emptied out my apartment.

But the one thing I've bought and prepared for is my camera! So! What do I take in my Safari trip? A brand new Nikon. Which might not be the best but already is such a step up from my old D70. Here what I'll be packing

- Nikon D5500
- Lens from the Kit Nikkor 18-105mm VR (for everyday in the villages)
- Sigma Lens 10-20mm / f4-5.6 (for the landscapes)
- Tamron Lens 70-300mm / f4-5.6 (for the lions far far away)

I have been trying to take this little one out with me every time I go out to get use to the new features and buttons etc. I've messed up my back with this and my usual 50-pound handbag but I'm happy to report I love it.
