 My first cheetah by grets
The moment I spotted my first cheetah was absolutely magical. We saw a congregation of vehicles on our very first game drive, and the driver explained that this is cheetah country. I didn't believe I would be so lucky as to see a cheetah withing a couple of hours of arriving at the camp, but there, on the plains, were three beautiful cheetahs! I couldn't get my eyes off them, they were just so amazing! Leave a Comment

 Hot chocolate on a night
safari by grets
The crew carried a flask of hot chocolate with them on the game drive, and there, in the middle of the bush, in pitch dark, we are standing in the game reserve, drinking hot chicolate. Surreal! Leave a Comment

 Bushbuck by tent by grets
At night, monkeys would scamper across the roof and you could hear them squeeling in the evening and early morning as they they settled territory dosputes or were just playfighting in the bushes. Leave a Comment

 Swimming pool by grets
Set in amongst the trees, the pool was a real haven of tranquility. Most of the time we were there completely on our own, just surrounded by numerous colourful birds who appeared totally unperturbed by our presence. Leave a Comment

 Lion cubs by grets
There, in the buff-coloured grass, were the two tiniest litttle lion cubs you could imagine. They were certainly not a week old yet, they could hardly walk on their little legs.
Mother was nowhere to be seen, and these cubs were very vulnerable on their own in the middle of the grasslands, especially with a large herd of elephants nearby. Leave a Comment

 Maasai by grets
The name of the village was Stokodel Manyatta, where traditional dances were put on for our visit.
I was not disappointed. Although there was a charge for visiting, this was a genuine village, not one laid on for the tourists. 85 people lived here, seven families, along with 675 cattle. We met a lot of the people, talked to a few, saw a man who's come out the victor in a fight with a lion and had the chance to go inside one of their houses. Leave a Comment

 Cheetah by grets
We were literally only about 1.5m (4.5 feet) away from these cheetah. One of the main reasons I wanted to come to the Mara was to see cheetah, and to be so near to them for so long was a real dream come true for me! Leave a Comment

It is easy to become confused and awed due to it's immensity and overwhelming experiences, especially when you first arrive.
Took me back to my young days as a child on Christmas day when I didn't know which way to look first under the Christmas tree!
Carry a journal, make as many notes as you can and, if traveling with others, take the time to compare notes and cross reference experiences each may have had within the same journey!
Our fondest memory was all collaborating during the mid afternoon rest period which is common in safaris. You are given the opportunity to relax and either take a nap, soak some sun around the pool or walk amongst the gardens at the lodge.
We chose to sit, the group of 5, near the pool or at the bar writing in our journals and copying notes off one another.
It was also a great source of accurate information which I am now using here on VT.
By getting 5 different peoples perspective on an experience or an accomodation, I feel we were able to form a more unbiased rating system for our tips. Leave a Comment
