I Learned Five Important Things On Our Trip to Kenya…Like, My Ray-Bans are Unflushable!

July 2, 2015 By Heather

1. African toilets at the air-strip have insufficient power to flush Ray-Bans.

I only have one remark. HOLY DISGUSTING SHIT BATMAN. I mean..THANK GOODNESS.

The Heavily Sanitized Ray-Bans

Actually I have a second, preemptive remark. No, I was not drinking Amarula, Tusker, or anything else when I dropped my Ray-Bans in the toilet. These things are really not related.

2. Amarula is better than I remember, and made–I had forgotten–from the Marula plant.

What? There is a liquor that delicious that comes from a plant? NO WAY. And it has elephants on the bottle? It’s love.

3. Tusker comes in two varieties.

A malt (green bottle) and a lager (brown bottle). Both good, definitely different. Worth sampling. Um, also, why don’t we get big bottles of Tusker in the United States? You fail me importers, you fail me.

4. Cheetahs are actually a type of lion.

According to a highly uninformed (I was going to say uneducated but I thought that presumptuous of me), obnoxious (factual, even if offensive), American in the Mara. False, obviously.

5. Traffic in Nairobi is worse than Washington, DC.

There seemed to be less flipping off, though. So there’s that.
