Driver picked me up at 6:00 am after coffee, fresh fruit, omelet and toast. The co pilot seat was empty so of course I asked if I could sit there. It was Bill, the pilot, and I up front!!! Too cool.
I was greeted at the air strip by 2 Masai, Wilson and Miletta, and a couple from Singapore, Pearly and Soon, also guests staying at the camp. We had tea and cookies right there. We were off for our first game drive. I saw herds of elephants, dazzles of zebras, buffalo, silver back jackals, thompson's, storks, jakanas, iris, herons, gazelles, secretary birds, dust devil ( tornado's ) giraffes, wildebeest's...... an array of animals that I was glad I brought my book and that our guide was so informative.
We made it to camp at 4:00 freshened up at headed to a Masai village. Unbelievable!!!!! Dancing, singing, introductions and the pictures I took will dazzle all. Truly spectacular! What an experience.
We then drove out and parked the jeep. A table was set wine, beer and other drinks were set out with snacks as we watched the sun set. We were now 2 couples from the UK one from Singapore and me.
Back at camp we sat around a fire as we all mingled and another family arrived. They were from Norway. Ready for dinner. It was fabulous and the wine was flowing.
A wonderful day in the Amboseli National Park.....
