Where we are going in maps

Location of Kenya in Africa	Location of Nairobi in Kenya

 

Now we are looking into the location of the Rift Valley,-a very famous geological feature in Africa.

It is one of the largest and most active examples of plate tectonics not beneath the ocean.

I suspect we will have pictures of the rift valley since I understand that the Kibera Slum is in it.

Each of aerial photos A-D are zooming in on Nairobi.

In the above three aerial photos, Nairobi is in the center of each one.  In the photo on the right, notice the lighter scars on a green background (a golf course) in the lower left and to the left of that, a gray area in the lower left corner.  That is part of the Kibera Slum.  The following photos will zero in on it.

Kibera Slum from 33,000 feet Note the golf course in the upper center.	Kibera Slum from 15,000 feet The apartment buildings on the left will provide a reference point in the following photos	The Anajali School The rusty roofed apartment buildings on the left give the reference to the school's location.

The compound we will be staying in is somewhere in this photo.  It contains a house that the ministry has rented for Wellingtone.  Note the apartment buildings seen in G and H in the upper left quadrant of I.  Anne or Wellingtone may be able to help us pin it down more.
