Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton was
ecstatic after spending quality time away from the race track with members of
the Pokot community during his recent tour of Kenya.
Hamilton took to Instagram to share stunning
photographs of his adventure, while thanking his hosts for the kindness they
showed him during the visit which he says made him feel at home away from home.
“I spent time with the Pokot people in Kenya
and just to be in their presence was one thing… To be welcomed was something
different entirely and a massive honour I don’t take lightly. The way I felt
here is how I feel with my family back at home,” he said.
The seven-time Formula One champion likewise
stated that he would savour the experience for years to come.
“We are all family, anyway. I’ll carry this
experience, and all my other memories from Kenya and from this journey as a
whole, in my heart forever,” he wrote.
Prior to pitching camp in Kenya, Hamilton
had traveled to Rwanda and Namibia.
While in Namibia, he posted pictures of the
trip saying he was on a life changing journey to "trace his roots"
during the Formula One break.
“This year I’m spending my summer break doing
something I’ve wanted to do for years. I’m finally tracing my roots through
Africa and guys, to say this journey has been a grounding experience is an
understatement,” he said then.
“This has been a life changing reset. I feel
like I have gained a new perspective on life, grown an even stronger love for
animals and became even closer with my brothers who I’ve shared this special
journey with."
