KENYA - 2011

My very first wildlife adventure was back in 2011 when I visited the Maasai Mara in Kenya. Everyone’s ambition is to see the big five but this is not always guaranteed but it's really exciting searching. The journey started by travelling from Nairobi through the country to Lake Nakuru, the home of flamingo’s, following on through to the Nakuru National where we saw plenty of wildlife.

We then visited a Maasai Mara village where we practiced the art of jumping from a standing position which they use when dancing. Within three days of the holiday I was lucky enough to see four of the five elephant, rhino, buffalo and lion, the hardest to find is always the leopard. After making the decision that finding the leopard was the most important thing remaining as a group we decided to concentrate on nothing else. This took two full days but on the final morning of our holiday we set off at 4am and found him.

I have quite a few good stories to tell about the holiday if you’re interested or would like any information about the trip please give me a call.
