Basecamp Masai Mara

Each sunrise as the tent zipper was drawn, a drama unfolded on the savannah as far as the eyes could see – antelopes, zebras and wildebeest grazing, the air filled with low resonant grunts, and as I sip my morning espresso on the tent porch…… I find myself humming Louis A´s little tune: ”… and I think to myself, what a wonderful world”

Basecamp Dorobo Fly Camp

Every night in the small Basecamp Dorobo Fly Camp, the Maasai would light our smiles and our fire. The beasts were out there in the dark, we knew that, and the deep roar of the lion was frightening, but the Maasai were not affected. Gradually I understood that their relationship to the wild animals is part of their identity and spirit. They are not enemies of the lions, rather partners. I realized in the deep songs from my new Maasai friends, that whatever threatens the lion is also a threat to them.

Basecamp Wilderness

Wild - yes, and far off the beaten track. It felt good to be on the hill above the savannah. The view and the sunrise from the terrace was safari "Karen Blixen"-style. Every day we would peacefully sit and watch the wildebeest migration passing on the plains below...
