How exciting when an expedition plan comes together, when scribbles on a map and shared ideas become reality. Some of the adventurers had 'Land-Rovered' from Durban in South Africa, others from Livingstone in Zambia and more adventurers had flown in and driven over the eastern wall of the Great Rift.

By the evening of Day one, the full Jade Sea Expedition team were all together at 'old friend' Thomas Hanson's, Lake Naivasha Camp below the prominent 2777m high dormant volcano of Mount Longonot.

Rucksacks, boots, medical kit, grub boxes, tents, bedrolls, reference books, maps, spare wheels, jerry cans are loaded onto the Land Rover Discovery 4's. There's also our humanitarian supplies of bales of PermaNets for our United Against Malaria work. Mashozi's Rite to Sight spectacles are carefully packed by size and the boxes of life straws for safe drinking water. So much to do on our way North up the Great Rift Valley to the World's largest desert lake, Turkana also known as the Jade Sea.

In the words of Leonardo da Vinci "What is it that moves you oh Man, to abandon your town dwellings and leave your relations and friends, to go into the country, into the mountains and valleys, if not for the natural beauty of the World"

Join Kingsley and his crew of adventurers next week in the next episode of A Journey To The Jade Sea.
