    Upon your arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), you will be transferred to the nearby Wilson Airport for a quick 45-minute flight to the Maasai Mara Airstrip. As your plane descends, you'll catch your first glimpse of the Mara's breathtaking landscape—vast plains punctuated by acacia trees and home to countless animals.

    Check-in at Your Luxury Camp or Lodge
    Upon arrival, you will be met by your private safari guide and taken to your luxury accommodation. Options for exclusive stays include:

    Afternoon Game Drive: Discovering the Wildlife of Maasai Mara
    The Maasai Mara is home to the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalos—as well as numerous other species like giraffes, zebras, and antelope. With your experienced guide, you’ll track these majestic animals, learning about their behaviors and habitats. Highlights of the Maasai Mara include:

    Predator Sightings: The Mara has one of the highest lion densities in the world, and leopards and cheetahs are often seen stalking prey on the open plains.

    Bird Watching: The Mara is a paradise for bird enthusiasts, with over 450 bird species, including the striking Maasai ostrich and the colorful lilac-breasted roller.
    As the sun begins to set, you’ll pause at a scenic spot for sundowners, sipping on a refreshing drink while watching the savannah bathed in golden light. This experience encapsulates the serene beauty and vastness of the Maasai Mara.

    Return to the Lodge: Evening and Fine Dining
    Upon returning to your luxury lodge or camp, you’ll have time to freshen up before an elegant dinner. Many luxury camps offer a five-star dining experience with a menu that celebrates Kenyan cuisine, often paired with fine wines and accompanied by the sounds of the wild.

    After dinner, retreat to your private tent or suite to unwind under a starlit sky. Some camps even offer stargazing sessions or a bonfire experience to make your night in the Mara even more special.

    Day 2: Sunrise Game Drive and Departure
    Sunrise Game Drive: The Magic of Early Morning Safari
    The early morning is one of the best times to witness the magic of the Maasai Mara. Animals are most active at dawn, and the soft morning light provides ideal conditions for photography. After a wake-up call and light breakfast, you’ll set off on a sunrise game drive, where you may encounter:

    Lions Returning from Their Night Hunt: Watch as lion prides finish their night’s hunt and settle in for the day.
    Elephants at Watering Holes: Observe elephants as they gather at watering holes for a morning drink.
    Rare Species Sightings: Spot elusive nocturnal animals like the serval and African civet.
    Your guide will take you to prime spots for wildlife viewing, ensuring that you experience the raw beauty of the African wilderness. The Maasai Mara’s expansive plains seem to stretch on forever, offering awe-inspiring landscapes that leave a lasting impression.

    Bush Breakfast and Cultural Visit
    Following your game drive, you’ll enjoy a bush breakfast in the heart of the Maasai Mara. This outdoor dining experience is a highlight, where you can savor freshly prepared dishes while surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.

    For those interested in the local culture, a visit to a Maasai village is available. Here, you’ll learn about the traditions, customs, and daily life of the Maasai people, one of Africa’s most iconic tribes. You’ll be able to observe traditional dances, see their vibrant beaded crafts, and hear stories from the village elders. This cultural encounter is a valuable way to connect with Kenya's rich heritage.

    Departure from Maasai Mara
    After your bush breakfast and cultural visit, it’s time to return to the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi. As you take off, the sight of the Maasai Mara disappearing below you will be a bittersweet reminder of the extraordinary adventure you’ve experienced. Upon landing at Wilson Airport, you will be transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or your Nairobi hotel, concluding your safari.

    Sibiloi National Park

    23 января 2021 г., Кения ⋅ ⛅ 34 °C

    My next destination on the way south brings me through Sibiloi National Park. The barren landscape with its wild track is fun to drive and gives a real feeling of remoteness. The eroded, endless badlands look like open surface mining. I find fossils all over the place wherever I stop for a second. Interestingly looking sedimental and volcanic stones with various “things” enclosed. I really wonder “how this all got created”. At Koobi Fora research camp there is basically nothing going on but from a ranger I learn a lot about tribal problems and conflicts within the national park. The herdsmen push with their cattle into the national park (coming as far as from Ethiopia) and the wildlife service tries to fight/control that. This also explains why all natives I met in the park were running away from me when usually the opposite happens. In contrast to the Masai of southern territories who live rather in harmony with the nature and at least do not touch the wild game, the local tribes here allegedly are involved in poaching in order to claim land for their cattle. But they say that this northern region is out of governmental influence and that “things are handled differently” up here. I indeed met some shepherds with Kalashnikovs. No need to be bothered. What is more bothering is the huge (small) locust swarm I get to see. While sitting with the dudes in Koobi Fora, “something” starts to rain down on us. Crazy! Immediately all lizards around the buildings and even squirrels run to the field to catch a locust for lunch. Yum Yum. The swarm moves with the wind further north.
    Around Mount Sibiloi I find traces of a petrified forest: 4 million years old trees turned into stone. Fantastic! Being here and inhaling this whole atmosphere lets you seem very tiny and unimportant. People, whatever you are currently caring and bothering about, just stop! Lean back and watch all the things to pass by. Just be nice to each other and enjoy what you call your life. On the long term you, everything, all this is just a moist fart (feuchter Furz)! Love? Money? War? Climate change? Overpopulation? Nature destruction? Ha! Pointless! Either we will exterminate ourselves or the planet will get rid of mankind anyway very soon. Then, after just another few million years and some “tectonic re-adjustments” everything is back to normal. Splendid!    Читать далее

    Chalbi Desert

    19 января 2021 г., Кения ⋅ ⛅ 42 °C

    The night was unexpectedly cold and windy and I start with a sour throat. After descending from Marsabit down to around 500 m I choose an alternative, rarely used track parallel to the main road C82 which gives me additional 45 km of Chalbi Desert beauties. It is around three weeks after the last rains and I still encounter 2-3 muddy but short sections. Speeding though with 60-80 kph works well but I do not want to know how it would look like in fresh mud here in the middle of nowhere. Temperatures rise up to 42 °C. In the middle of the desert my air condition stops working. Haha! The evening in Kalacha is dry, hot and windy. I hoped for a calm evening but at the campsite I am disturbed by three different parties all coming to me and asking for money. School children, a drunk "head of security". One other guy stays the whole evening, pretends to be my best friend and each 20 minutes he invents a new story why I should support him. In the end we discuss over 100-1000 $ in order to support him finishing his studies. Sure, just take my soul.Читать далее

    Mount Kulal

    27 января 2021 г., Кения ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    The omnipresent heat pushes me up to Gatab on Mount Kulal, an old, eroded volcano overgrown with primary forest and labelled a biosphere reserve by humans. I am curious about how this is managed and stay two nights at the guest house of the African Inland Church with a beautiful grassy lawn and in theory a view down to Loiyangalani and Lake Turkana, would there not be this very dense dust in the air. 1000 KES (7,50 EUR) conservancy fee and another 1000 for a local guide are mandatory in order to explore the forest. I could have done a fully-day’s hike up the summit but I am lazy and need also time for inner piece and nothingdoing. Half a day must be enough and so Shukri the guide picks me up in the morning. The forest is different, not as dense as expected but we manage to find huge old trees where I play Tarzan on the lianas. There are people living around the slopes of the mountain and the conservation activities try to cope with the challenge of respecting the demands of both the natives and the pristine nature. We find some grassy patches where successful re-forestation has been achieved and the new seedlings are protected against the grazing cattle which in theory is not allowed to be here. Shukri documents that with his phone and will report the violation to the community chiefs. Also logging is supposed to be controlled. We hear Baboons fighting about a fig tree. By incident I discover a super-tiny Kulal helmeted chameleon (endemic!) just next to our path on a twig where we pause for a second. Two seconds later another, slightly bigger just haft a metre away! Shukri is very excited because these are normally difficult to spot and he loves chameleons! Later he shows me also the Kulal White-eye, a tiny also endemic bird. Whatever resides up here must be endemic because migrating down from this mountain will lead to instant dustification of any bio-mass.

    Shukri tells me that he has some orphan kids around his place and is searching for patrons to sponsor their school fees. This is interesting considering the fact that one day ago I met Jane in Loiyangalani who distributes scholarships to poor kids. I connect both of them and hope for the best. Primary school – the first 8 years – is very cheap in Kenya because only books, the uniform and peanuts have to be provided. Pushing a teenager through 4 years of secondary school is more costly but still pretty not expensive for Mzungus. Shukri estimates around 60.000 KES (450 EUR) for the first year and 30.000 KES for each subsequent year. This would give a kid the opportunity to much easier find a job and be able to care for her-/himself. So, if anybody is interested in investing some of his money into such activities, I can create a direct link to these honest and reliable persons in order to offer a transparent procedure without any dubious, intermediate organisations.

    36 km left

    26 января 2021 г., Кения ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    So, my gambling was successful and I reached the next filling station on my route from Marsabit via Chalbi Desert, Kalacha, Hurri Hills, Balesa, Dukana, Ileret and Loiyangalani after 927 km, having emptied both jerrycans and with just around 36 km range left. With 127 L diesel in total this results in a consumption of approximately 13.2 L/100 km on pretty rough terrain with only gravel, sand and sharp volcanic rocks. The filling station here belongs to the big new wind farm in Serima. Finally somebody makes use of this wind ... but none of the nearby villages is supplied. All the power is exported to the capital cities and in Loiyangalani you have generators running at night.Читать далее

    Loiyangalani

    25 января 2021 г., Кения ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    The guys I met before in Ngurunit recommended to say hello in Loiyangalani and this is where I camp spontaneously at a resort. The town is calm but offers nothing special. It is a boiling pot of all surrounding tribes: Borana, Dassanach, Turkana, Samburu, Gabbra, El Molo, Rendille, Somali. El Molo inhabit just one small bay
    north of Loiyangalani! I still do not get how they all interact but at least they settle peacefully around town.

    At the lodge I meet Jane from Nairobi who stays here for a week and interviews young girls at school and their parents in order to distribute scholarships for poor pupils. She is fundraising and works in conjunction with aid programs. I learn a lot about how the school system works and also respond with many stories about the German one.

    On the street I am randomly asked to marry a girl. But for that I have to bring at least 6 camels into her family! I learn that a camel is worth approximately 120.000 KES which is 900 EUR. Holy banana! Do you remember the pics from Kalacha? For the Gabbra guys it is not uncommon to own a herd of 200-400 camels. They must be millionaires here! But their families have barely anything to eat. How does this work? Apparently this all is just a prestige thing and they rarely sell a camel. For every daughter they can marry away, they aggregate new camels. And in times of severe drought? 90 % of the camels die. Investment in "a better future"? Not of interest. Things here just work differently and we white, snobbish Sesselpupser will never be able to understand. I also learn that the many sheep of the Dassanach north around Ileret are well-adjusted to the hot and dry climate but ... I complained about the wind, right? There is always strong wind here, throughout the whole year. Once these sheep get completely soaked during unusual long and heavy rains and the air cools down a bit, the strong wind just makes them freeze to death over night. All of them.    Читать далее

    Along the wild shore

    24 января 2021 г., Кения ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    The track slowly converges with the lake shore. Yellow grass on dark-grey sand creates nice contrasts! For the next 45 km this flat landscape literally drives me crazy because the whole flat section is cut with tiny, perpendicular water drainage channels which means that every 50-200 m I have to switch between 3rd or 2nd and 1st gear to cross a bumpy ditch. I thought to be alone here but finding a calm camping spot turns out to be difficult with many scattered nomadic settlements around. At least I will not have to bother about a diesel shortage because the further south I get the more used the track gets. Wind, flamingos, cattle. At 22:00 still 37 °C. A killer! Did I say that it is windy here?Читать далее

    Inland navigation

    24 января 2021 г., Кения ⋅ ⛅ 34 °C

    I want to drive the "rough road" along the lake's shore to Loiyangalani in the south. After leaving Sibiloi and being completely sunken into my audio book "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo" I miss the junction and drive 5 km in the wrong direction towards North Horr. Wtf? There was no junction! I head back to where OpenStreetMap (OSM) claims the junction to be and indeed find A BLOODY FOOTPATH splitting from the gravel road. Are you serious? On OSM this is tagged as "secondary road" which is simply wrong and has been already corrected at the time of writing. Ok, let's try it. The problem is that I am running out of diesel. I knew that after Marsabit there would be no filling station and I have one jerrycan left as backup with which I calculated to be able to reach the next station after Loiyangalani but not further! If this path here along the shore turns out to be a dead end, at one certain point I will not be able to turn back to any other populated place where I could find diesel (in plastic bottles). No risk, no fun! Goat milk I will always find around here ...
    So, after 2-3 kilometers the footpath widens slightly and two tracks become barely identifiable with some motorbike footprints. Also there appear stone markings at the sides. But this track has not been used by cars for weeks! And indeed on a hilltop "the road" is blocked by thorny bushes in order to signalise "do not proceed beyond this point". The locals do that to close the roads in case of a landslide or untraversable river, for example. I encountered the latter earlier in my previous mountain exploration but continued and it turned out to be OK because all rivers are dust-dry since mid of January. The last rains were a month ago and so I decide again to drive around this blockade.
    Right decision! It is a wonderfully wild drive, indeed with broad, sandy river crossings. All dry as expected. The low sun is casting warm colours. After around 35 km - while reaching the village of Moite behind the coastal hills - the track gets better and some human beings appear again.    Читать далее

    Ileret

    22 января 2021 г., Кения ⋅ ☁️ 36 °C

    I reach Ileret and its sandy surroundings and with that the final destination of my current trip: Lake Turkana! 42 °C, strong humid wind from the lakeside, a punch in my face. The water is warm, interestingly smelly, slightly salty and has a soapy texture. After having crossed Gabbra territory here the tribe calls itself Dassanach. The cattle is drinking and locals are bathing so obviously no crocodiles around. Hopefully! Anyway, it was an awesome trip up here, so I would categorize an unplanned encounter with a croc as "the real African adventure" and would not have any reason to complain ;-) The locals dry Tilapia, Nile Perch and Catfish in order to export it into the country. The children rip dried chunks off the fish and chew on it like on leather. I park in a dry riverbed under a tree for the night and enjoy the sunset with distant rain. The whole evening and morning I have a crew of local kids around.Читать далее
