Although most of our time was spend being very lazy around the pool, we did go for a two day visit to the Masai Mara National Reserve. The trip was very expensive, but certainly worth doing.

We stayed at Little Govenor's Camp in the west of the Mara. The journey there was by a Let L-410 from Ukunda airstrip near our hotel. We made a couple of stops in the Mara for others going to different lodges before we arrived at our stop. After a ten minute jeep ride we arrived at a river which we crossed by a small ferry to the camp.

Little Governor's Camp is made up of tents. They are pretty luxurious for tents, though, with a bathroom built in to the back with shower, toilet and even a bidet!

The following give a bit of an idea of what it was all like:

Boarding the plane at Ukuna.
A Masai Village spotted as we descend to our stop.
The river ferry to the camp.
Our tent.
Inside the tent was very comfortable...
...with all the comforts of home - almost!
The view from our tent across the swamp with elephants in the background having a drink!
