Mara and Elgon Dec 2020
[January 2020] We spent our first week of break on a familly trip to Mt Elgon (which we had never been to). Then a few days at home for Christmas, unsual for us). Then we spent the second week with friends doing a loop of the Mara and the Nguraman Escarpment. The latter was an epic six days!
