First time happy!
This was my first time in Sub Saharan Africa so I was excited just touching down on Kenyan soil...The most memorable experiences were many. Driving towards Lake Nakuru and seeing the hazy pink fog on the horizon which as we drew closer realised that is was 1000's of pink flamingos! We knew we had a lucky group as at that point Ben our driver told us that 2 weeks previously there were no flamingos to be seen! It was a magical site. Another magical site would be on the first dawn game drive we did and managed to see a pride of lions basking in the morning light, a cheetah prowling the plains and then the elusive leopard lazing halfway up a tree! back at the camp we were then treated to a 5 star style camp breakfast out in the open guarded by expert Masai hunters, who - we were reminded were there for our safety -since they would inform us what animals were making the noises we would sporadically hear just outside the edges of the camp. To be honest, there were so many memorable moments. The wildlife, the guides' knowledge, the attention to detail and the attentiveness of the camp staff-all this rolled into one great trip.
