First Day in The Mara Intrepids camp

This post is going to be dedicated to the resort/camp where we are staying while we are on Safari. I will explain what happened in all the days that we spent there in a separate post.

This is the sign that we found at the mara air dirt strip runway.  The planes have to call ahead to the people on the ground to tell them they will be landing in the next 20 minutes so please clear the runway of animals


The sign at the camp telling us what's going to happen in our day



This is our swimming pool

It's right by the river which has hippos and crocodiles in it


This is our tent where we stayed.  It's no ordinary tent....

This is what the inside of our tent looked like!

This is our safari truck.  In the mornings our tent attendant would bring us hot chocolate and cookies at 5.45am before we went on our first safari drive at 6.30am.  We would then have breakfast half way through our drive at a nice spot on the mara but once we came back to the camp for a huge breakfast feast.


This is us taking off on our first safari drive.
It had been raining so some of the roads were a bit tricky but our guide John was an awesome driver.
This is me watching elephants ...but more on that in my next post.

  1. You will be used to early starts after that stay, and bumpy rides. Looking forward to the photos of what you saw and your time with the Masai people - Guess you will treasure those memories.
