I will never forget my first trip to Kenya. I traveled alone for 18 hours and arrived in Mombasa exhausted and a bit afraid. Would my ride be there? Would my cell phone work if no one was there to meet me? Could I figure out how to get safely to a hotel by taxi?
I walked out of the airport in the dark and looked at the crowds of people waiting. When my eyes fell on a man wearing a huge smile and a Kenya Keys shirt, all my fears vanished. I had an immediate friend. From that night on Joseph Mbotte, driver extraordinaire, has been one of my favorite Kenyans.
Once again that smile was there to welcome us 'home' to Taru! Karibu Kenya! Welcome to Kenya!
