Rich hunts lions in Kenya
In and around Nairobi, Kenya
As my contract in the UK was due to end in a week I was looking for more work. I happened across an advert for a volunteer GIS trainer in Kenya and sent my CV. Why not? Sounded pretty good and I'd not been to East Africa before. A few hours after applying I was told that I could start as soon as possible. A quick look for flights and 8 days later I was in Kenya.
