SAFARI for 5 Euro in Kenya

When coming to Kenya I would never dare to think I will manage to go for Safari. Firstly, I thought there will be no time, since the training is from 8.30am to 6pm each day. Secondly, I assumed the price shall be so high, I will not be able to afford it. But sometimes the life decides otherwise.

When receiveing the training programme, I have noticed we have two days off - Friday and Saturday. There was some programme organized but I thought I could try to check how much would Safari do and in case try to go there.

The most amazing Safari in Kenya is supposedly Masai Mara, except all warned me that it takes some 8 hours on road one direction. I talked to my collegue here, a guy from Slovakia if he would like to join me, so that in case I do not go alone. The lady who was to help us arrange did not really respond, so I decided I will sms the Kenyan guy whom I met on the plane, as he offered to arrange the Safari for me through some Travel Agency he knows.

Well and as it worked out, he has booked for us a semi-luxurious tent with build in new bathrooms by Talek river in Masai Mara. The drive was to take some 5-6 hours one way, which was fine. But most importantly, he insisted he will fund the whole trip no matter how much I have insisted upon paying our costs.

To be honest I could not really believe it, so I kept on expecting what is gonna happen or what my go wrong. But by 7am on Friday this Safari minibus comes with a driver and we set on a trip. The road went quite fast as we kept on talking on all possible subjects. Early past midday we made it to Masai Mara. And within some hour we made it to our place where we were to stay over the night. It felt like little oasis, the place was incredible. The place is like a garden and each tent is separated by trees.

We got lunch and by 4pm were ready to go on the safari.
The end of first part for now.
