Much to our groups dismay, 7 days in paradise flew by in no
time at all. This may have been due to the fact that every single game drive
was filled with some sort of action packed wilderness theatre.
To start off the string off exciting events that where to
follow our arrival, we were treated to an aerial crossing of about 3000
wildebeest bounding their way through the Talek River. To say the least, the
sighting really set the tone for the rest of the trip. Some of our highlights
over the next 7 days included:
·
Viewing the famous cheetah Malaika and her
three, 12 week old cubs.
·
Watching a female Cheetah kill a Thompson’s
gazelle from start to finish, folloed by her 3 tiny cubs practising the art of
hunting
·
Lions, lions, and more lions, seen around every
bush and on every single game drive
·
4 Wildebeest crossings
·
3 fantastic sightings of Lorian the leopard and
her 2 month old cub playing out in the open, of which all 3 sightings where
almost exclusively enjoyed by just our 3 vehicles
·
The endless skies and stormy breathtaking
sunsets, that seemed to improve by the day
·
Viewing a
relaxed bat-eared fox out in the open plains.
·
On our last morning witnessing a clan of 16
Hyena taking down a young wildebeest.
·
Hundreds and hundreds of animals dotted throughout
the open plains of the Mara.
·
The incredible and friendly staff of Entim Camp
·
Traditional Masai song and dance around a
campfire on our last night
·
Mostly, the fantastic group of clients that we
had the privilege of guiding in this magic destination
To top off the incredible time we had whilst on game drive
we were always welcomed home to the friendly faces of Entim Camp. With the
private camp to our selves we spent our afternoons editing images, sharing
stories and just relaxing to the chorus of birds around camp.
The following is a selection of images from the trips photo
