Kenya Day 1

Am spending three nights at the Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp in the Masai Mara. We flew in a small plane to the jungle strip, and as we came down to land we could see around the landing strip a giraffe, dozens of antelopes, scores of baboons, some buffaloes and zebras.

These buffaloes were just by the landing strip. We then had a 15 minute drive to the camp.

We weren’t expecting to see much until this evening, when we have a proper game drive, but a few hundred metres from the camp were four lions, two of which you can see here.

That’s how I like to sleep!

Then we saw a couple of elephants.

One of them started to advance on the jeep, so we hit reverse fairly quickly! If you want to know why, look at this video.

Lots of birds here as well as beasts.

The “tent” I’m in.

The view from the tent. Have already seen zebras, antelopes, warthogs, and a mongoose pass by!

A  path at the camp. Best to keep to them due to the scorpions and snakes.

A wart hog by the swimming pool. Looks like he has been using it!

And a monkey in the dining room.

Been three years since my last trip to Africa, and had forgotten quite how amazing it is.
