TRAVELER'S TALE
Adventure around Kenya W
hat better way to start a trip in Kenya than in the Maasia Mara at a wonderful camp, hand selected by Seas4Life Safaris. We got to connect with the people who ran and worked on the Mara Elephant Project those at the forefront of protecting these magnificent animals, their habitat and engaging with the local communities. After experiencing the magic of the Mara we hopped back to Nairobi where we stayed in a beautiful home surrounded by nature and got to visit the Giraffe Centre and the David Sheldrick shelter – whose core work involves the rescue and rehabilitation of milk dependent orphaned baby elephants and rhinos. The next day we took the breathtakingly scenic road into the rift valley and arrived at Ajuba house, right on the shores of Lake Naivasha. Here roam freely, Hippos, Zebra, Waterbuck, Leopards, pelicans and more. We spent our time walking, cycling and water skiing with Julie Church - our guide, and simply relaxing before heading back to the city, for the next leg.
