In all honesty, during the planning stage, I had a very hard time deciding where to go next from Mali. I was considering Mauritania, Kenya and Uganda, but eventually decided on Uganda as I could secure a relatively cheaper non-direct flight ticket with Kenya Airways, given how expensive airfares are to and from Mali in general.

My BFF and I boarded Kenya Airways' Boeing 737-800 aircraft after the sun went down.
In contrast to Ethiopian Airlines' Boeing 787-8 that we flew with on ET909, Kenya Airways' Boeing 737-800 that'd bring us to Nairobi, Kenya is much more well-maintained despite both of them being less than five years old.
Once I'd finished watching the movie, I tried to catch some sleep. When I woke up, it took me by surprise that we'd be landing about 50 minutes ahead of schedule.

Msafiri is the Swahili word for 'traveller'. |

Since it wasn't Boeing 787-8, we didn't get to see the new animated safety demonstration video featuring a lion onboard.

I doubt I'll have the opportunity to visit Mali again, but from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for the experience.

Once the seat belt sign had been turned off, the cabin crew distributed headphones, followed by wet wipes.


Following that, I started watching White Fang, a Netflix original animation movie based on a novel by Jack London.


I paused the movie to enjoy my dinner, which review you might've seen in my food blog.

Thank you for the enjoyable ride! |
We had more than three hours of transit at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi.
