Masai Mara National Reserve: Peaceful, relaxing, invigorating and exciting

Wildebeest crossing

My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon in the Masai Mara at a gorgeous and small private camp. It really was an amazing experience. We live in a city, so to wake in the morning with the expansive view of the mara and to be able to hear nothing but 'nature' was really wonderful. The safari drives were as we expected, stunning. This is not a zoo, nor a game reserve, it is so exciting to be in the natural surrounds of such a wide number of animals. Make sure you travel with a good local guide, as their knowledge of birdlife, other small creatures and the foliage and forna helps to add to the experience.
It is not a cheap holiday, but worth every penny!

We had our honeymoon in Kenya 8 years ago and really had the time of our lives. Beautiful country and beautiful people - such a shame about the recent troubles, but we are planning on taking our kids there for our next trip once things have settled down. The wild life is stunning!
