Second Safari Mara Olapa Camp

On Sunday, we were sad to leave Kibo Camp but excited to see what our next safari and camp would be like. We had hoped to see Mt. Kilimajaro while at Camp Kibo, and finally on the last day at Camp Kibo, the clouds parted at 6:30 am, and we were able to photograph the splendor of this magnificent mountain, the highest single mountain above sea level in the world. Now, with Camp Kibo complete, our bags were packed, and we were ready to leave. Scott was excited to be the copilot on our flight to Masa Mara. The terrain here was quite different as we landed... lots more rolling hills, brush, and bush with not so many acacia trees. After about an hour, we landed in Masa Mara. We were met by Benett, a Maasai tribe member who was our driver and guide. We felt very safe at Camp. When it got dark, if we wanted to leave our tent, we needed to ring a bell to leave. A Maasai warrior would come and escort us where we wanted to go protecting us from any wild animals.Read more
