Masai Mara

 “Too bad we have seen so few animals so far”… our safari guide said to me at lunch time on our 1st full safari day. We had seen that morning: a herd of elephants, several giraffes, hundreds of buffalo, thousands of migrating wildebeests (aka gnoes) and zebras, a cheetah with a fresh ‘kill’ and a pride of over 10 lionesses and cubs also with a kill. I don’t know what they are used to there in Masai Mara but we were duly impressed.

Checking out the cats in Masai Mara

 So finally I’m back in Africa and I must admit the thought of going to Africa was both exhilarating and intimidating. But at first sight Nairobi did not seem as bad as all the stories would like me to believe. 

That being said we didn’t really linger around much but instead decided to kick off this trip with the one thing most travelers do here in East  Africa: go on ‘safari’.

Pre-departure stress 6

 Typically on travelblogs these ‘travel reports’ tend to be long and detailed in the beginning but often after some time the entries are more like “I’m in X and I’m alive’. Last time I was able to keep things going. We will see what happens this time. If you wish to be kept up to date and receive an email alert when new posts are published, you can subscribe in the menu on the right. Anyway we like to hear from you while we are out there. So send us or post your thoughts, comments and questions! And spread the word! Share it, post it, tweet it and whatever it!

Pre-departure stress 5

 I just haven’t had the time to stress much but I’ve got a feeling that it will kick-in the next couple of days. It’s all the same though once I’m on the plane I’ll realize why I’m doing this. One thing I had to promise to my mom was to ‘stay safe’. Though I don’t think I usually do extremely crazy stuff, I will do my best to stay clear of crashing busses and avoid extended stays in foreign hospitals this time.

Through this website we will try to keep you all updated on our ‘adventures’ on the road .
