Kenyans react to reports that Lewis Hamilton is in the country

"To say this journey has been a grounding experience is an understatement. 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. Everywhere I look I'm surrounded by so much beauty, and I feel truly re-centred and at peace," he wrote.

The racer made his first stop in Namibia, calling it one "of the most stunning places I've ever seen with my own eyes."

"Words and pictures do not do it justice. The hot air balloon ride was surreal. We had to land sideways which is definitely something I'll never forget. I could not think of a better place to spend this time off. Sending everyone peace and light, I'm off to the next," said Hamilton.
