Friends of the Rail Forum

We proceeded from Nairobi to Athi River, stopping in section just short of the bridge to drop the passengers, after which the empty train proceeded to Athi River Station. Kenya Wildlife Service buses were waiting by the lineside to take them to the Nairobi National Park, where I understand they had a great time. The "bush lunch" (provided by Mawenzi Gardens) was apparently superb and the game drive was very good, with plenty of lions as well as other animals. The buses took the guests back to Mawenzi Gardens in the early evening. This tremendously successful inaugural trip bodes well for the future of this initiative which is planned for the first Sunday of every month (and more often if demand is great enough).
