We’re getting used to these small aircraft that you can’t stand up in. It’s like hopping on a bus shuttle and you keep running in to the same people travelling between the camps!! And below you can see the airport check in!!
What a beautiful camp Sayari is. And such an abundance of animals. It’s very easy to become blasé about what you’ve experienced but once I’m home I will relive these memories again and again. Our guide Nelson, was terrific. So knowledgeable and very happy to share details of his culture. We picked up a few Swahili sayings!
Gonna – Cheers
Jumbo – Hello
Asanti santa – Thank you
Caribu santa – You’re very welcome and of course
Hakuna Matata – No worries
The northern Serengeti has the classic big open plains of the African savannah, sprawling views, and consistently delivers excellent wildlife sightings. It is one of the best places in East Africa for leopards, and the kopje strewn hillsides that are home to these elusive creatures are in themselves stunningly beautiful.
The Serengeti is perhaps the most famous African wilderness area, its name synonymous with the notion of safari for nearly a hundred years. This UNESCO World Heritage site covers 14,750 km2 (5,700 mi2) of premiere game viewing in Acacia woodlands, open grasslands, and undulating savannahs interspersed with seasonal rivers. The park on the northern side borders the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya and, together with several other smaller reserves and conservation areas, forms the larger Mara-Serengeti ecosystem.
Animals we encountered were the impalas, defasa waterbuck, baboons, giraffes, agama lizards and several bird species, plus so many more.
And below are pictures of our beautiful camp. the service was amazing and we were treated to a private dinner set up in the reception area. Every meal was set up in a different area of the camp to enhance the experience. We had our own butler who was so friendly and helpful and we had a lovely man called maurice who took us in a little golf buggy to and from our tent.
Africa gets in your heart and soul. The sunsets are amazing behind the acacia trees.
Memories last forever.
