Masai Mara National Reserve

 

The next stage of our 19 day East African safari takes us to Masai Mara National Reserve in the Great Rift Valley.

We stayed at Kensington Mara West Tented Camp on the Oloolo Escarpment.

Our tent chalet was perhaps thee most beautiful camp we have ever stayed in. The "tents" were spread out along the escarpment and you had the feeling you indeed were all alone.

Each morning a Masai warrior would come to light a fire outdoors to heat water for the tent and in the evening, another would arrive to guide us to the dining tent as wildlife was free to move amongst the tents.

Here is our guide, Albert arriving in the morning to start our days adventure.

We would eat lunch under a tree somewhere in the savannah usually watching the wildlife all around us. Only returning after sunset for a late supper.

Travelling by ourselves was truly an amazing experience and one I would highly recommend. Plus our guide Albert was truly spectacular.
