Back from Kenya: A travelogue full of unforgettable moments
Back from Kenya: A travelogue full of unforgettable moments
Kenya - a country full of fascinating contrasts, wild beauty and unforgettable encounters. In this travelogue, I take you with me on my most recent safari, which took me from the breathtaking landscapes of Meru National Park to the vastness of the Masai Mara. Experience magical moments, impressive animal sightings and the diversity of a country that has far more to offer than just its famous nature reserves.
I have just returned from my trip to Kenya and I am still enchanted by the impressions that this diverse country left behind. For us at Take Memories, it is very important to be on the ground ourselves to gather the latest impressions and stay in close contact with our partners. This time, my journey took me directly from Frankfurt to Nairobi, and after an uncomplicated entry into the country, the adventure could begin.
I am a huge fan of Kenya - the country is so diverse and has so much more to offer than just the famous Masai Mara. My first stop was Meru National Park in the north of the country. This beautiful park is criss-crossed by numerous rivers that provide plenty of drinking water all year round, making it home to an impressive variety of wildlife and birds. Over sundowners, the camp manager told us the story of Elsa, the famous lioness from the movie “Born Free”, who was released into the wild here by George and Joy Adamson. Hearing this story in its place of origin was a truly magical moment.
We continued on to the Lewa Conservancy, a paradise for rhino lovers. I have been on many safaris, but I have never seen so many rhinos at once as here. Our guide at Siriko Lodge led us through the vastness of the landscape, and in the nearby Borana Conservancy we experienced an unforgettable walking safari. Passing majestic elephants, we reached a breathtaking viewpoint on a rock, where we enjoyed the sunset with a gin & tonic - a perfect moment that showed us the vastness and beauty of Kenya.
Another highlight of my trip was the visit to the Masai Mara. The stories you hear about this nature reserve are more than confirmed when you experience this landscape for yourself. My stay at Mara Expeditions Camp, an intimate and luxurious tented camp, provided the perfect setting for spectacular animal sightings. After seeing only a few animals on our first day, we were more than compensated on the second day: a pair of leopards right in front of our vehicle - a rare and unforgettable sight. Shortly afterwards, we were able to watch four young lions feeding. A magical end to my time in the Masai Mara.
Kenya has enchanted me once again and I am already looking forward to my next African adventure. Let's see where it takes me next...
