After a year of visa
trips to Nairobi …. and a good few setbacks along the way…. Solomon finally
achieved his dream of getting to the United States in November 2012.
Thanks to his amazing hosts and sponsors who stuck by him throughout
the visa shenaningans he had the trip of a lifetime in Philly.

| Cooling off between the race and the totally amazing after party |
Highlights were ,
firstly of course , Race Day - whilst
Solomon did not achieve the race time he would have hoped- he used his usual indomitable spirit to finish despite a recurring injury and enjoyed every minute of the
race in a magnificent city. We all extend our congratulations to him! The second highlight was his trip to
Washington DC where he was presenting to the African Wildlife Foundation, about the conservation work at Lentille. By all accounts he spoke eloquently and passionately about the improvements in the conservation lands, cattle management and development work across the Group Ranches. Food
and Friends were clearly the other
highlights – pancakes and pizza looming high on the list!!

| Checking out the Washington landmarks .... All in all solomon could not have had a better trip and the friendship offered to him has put Philadelphia firmly into his Friendliest City category. Thank-you so much to all who made this trip possible |
