I want to go on safari in Kenya, but don’t want to keep moving around?

I did a safari in Kenya last year and what I did was to fly from Nairobi straight into the Masai Mara by light aircraft , I then spent 3 nights at a camp before flying back to Nairobi. I found this worked really well as the light aircraft was a FAB way of seeing the Masai Mara from the air and it only took about an hour and a half to get from Nairobi, Also it landed close to the camp so didn’t have to go too far to get to the camp, though on saying that the drive to the camp was amazing, littered with giraffe and zebra. Whilst at the camp I did a couple of game drives a day, which I have to say were simply amazing. I saw the big five plus tons of other animals. I was pretty amazed when we came across a herd of elephant; I counted 20 with a couple of babies, which were so sweet. There is some much to see on the Masai Mara and the local driver/guide, David, was simply fantastic and it was really interesting hearing how he grew up on the Masai Mara. OK you don’t get to see the full dive...

Follow the Annual Mirgration in East Africa

Hi fellow travellers, We're looking at the great annual migration in East Africa in our newsletter this week: http://www.escapeworldwide.co.uk/newsletter/special/Apr10c2.html Both Kenya and Tanzania offer fantastic game viewing, especially during migration time. I've been fortunate enough to have been on safari in both Kenya and Tanzania and have to say they have been the most amazing experiences of my lifetime. Probably one of my biggest highlights was on safari in Kenya where we came across a Cheetah and her two cubs, on a mound taking in the morning sun..... simply amazing animals . We was truly fantastic was when she decided leave the mound and jump on top of our game vehicle! Scary but what an experience, they are fantastic animals!
