Nairobi is not only known for its mild climate, but also for its breathtaking safaris. Possibly, Silvia and Carl Gustaf took the opportunity to admire lions, giraffes, zebras, and rhinos up close. A perfect retreat to escape the stressful everyday life - considering that the royal couple, at 81 and 78 years old, are still fully committed to the crown. However, the break was only of short duration. On March 8, the couple returned to Sweden. Already on the following Monday, the next appointment was scheduled for King Carl Gustaf.
A deserved break for the second oldest royal couple in Europe
Queen Silvia and King Carl Gustaf, at 81 and 78 years old, may be among the oldest reigning monarchs in Europe, but they continue to show full commitment to their duties. A vacation in Kenya was therefore a well-deserved break - and at the same time an opportunity to regain energy.
