“Drinking water does not reach the tap”

Kenya is among the countries identified as having unsafe tap water. It is one of 187 countries in the world where tap water is considered unsafe.

Not surprisingly, the safest tap water is found in developed countries. Conversely, countries in Central America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East are considered high risk.

According to the World Health Organization, approximately 842,000 people die each year in the world from diarrhea due to poor drinking water, sanitation and hand hygiene.

Does it remind you about Chris Isaak's song? 😁

There are a lot of such small hotels in towns and villages we passed through during our safari. This one in Ntulelei, on the road between Nairobi and the Masai Mara National Reserve, was one of the most “attracting”.

“Grant's zebra”

More Grant’s zebras are in the wild than any other species or subspecies of zebras. Unlike Grevy and mountain zebras, they are not endangered.

Grant’s zebras eat the coarse grasses that grow on the African plains, and they are resistant to diseases that often kill cattle, so the zebras do well in the African savannas.

However, recent civil wars and political conflicts in the African countries near their habitats has caused regional extinction, and sometimes zebras are killed for their coats, or to eliminate competition with domestic livestock.
