Safari: The Mara

ThomasLeave a comment

We saw many different landscapes in the Mara, but the area near Olonana (perhaps toward the West, I am not sure) was perhaps the most breathtaking. The Mara National Park in Kenya is separated by only its border with Tanzania from the Serengeti. You can come close to the border but I don’t think you are allowed to cross it. So the Serengeti will have to be another Safari.

We also saw many giraffe along the way in various settings, but I think these pictures really show how awe-inspiring the Mara is.

Our final stay was at Abercrombie & Kent’s beautiful Olonona tented camp. This wonderfully gracious property right on the banks of the Mara River. The main lodge is beautiful and comfortable, the food is great (a delicious Carbonara in the middle of the African wilderness) and the staff is very attentive and professional. And our tent was beautiful as well with two double beds and Molton Brown products in the bathroom.
