We arrived at the shoddiest looking airport in the world, that consisted of essentially metal huts. My hopes were not high and my fear of flying was certainly prominent. Our plane was a 12 seater and I was not impressed. Luckily we landed safe and sound. Our guides Moses and Murufu took us the scenic route to our new home at Salas Camp where we were welcomed by Zebras, Giraffes and lots of Wilderbeast.
Our tent is more like a luxury hotel with its plunge pool, banana lounge and ensuite overlooking the Serengeti. We were told we would be doing two safaris a day, one at dawn and one at dusk. The next few days were a blur of animals. We saw everything from Lion Cubs playing, to Cheetahs hunting (successfully) and lots of Zebra bums! We have had stunning hot days and very wet nights, perfect weather for the animals.
On our final full day we visited a Masai village, the danced for (and with) us and shared stories of their culture and traditions with us. I think Mum also almost tried to adopt one of the gorgeous children who were hanging around us and loved to be picked up and cuddled.
