Eselenkai

We're 30 minutes of flight time sth west of Nairobi, and the weather here is dry, 15 to 30 degrees approx. It's winter, and the dry season has just begun. ( Nairobi has been experiencing climate anomalies this last 2 months)
We're now a group of 4 dairy farmer couples from Cambridge experiencing eco tourism. This means tourism with protection of the environment as the priority, so campsites can be moved with no residual impact or observable changes on the area. Three course meals are the norm, with drinks all inclusive on a prepaid basis. I wouldn't say it's 5 star, but it's a comfortable four.
Monkeys sharing the shower water probably limits the review upside, but it's a fun experience.
Game drives commerce with a 30 min wake-up call, and you're out on the tracks, eyes peeled by 5.30 - 6 am, pre sun up. Back for breakfast at 9 am or, as in the case yesterday, an 11 hour round trip game drive to Amboseli National Park with views of wetlands, elephant, and wildlife, and Mt Kilimanjaro ( background).
Plenty of time to harangue the guides with mindless tourist questions and endless banter about all manner of things.
The only problems are a lack of internet ( bare with us) and trying to pick your best representation of photos.
Would love to send more video clips ( internet limited) as these can reflect the proximity and scale better often imo.
We'll be changing camp every 3 days, due tomorrow. Each camp has a cross section of wildlife but typically a strong feature animal. Elephants are this camps drawcard with a group of 90 crossing a road in front of us yesterday, a real spectacle.Read more
