Kenya Holidays Blog

I’m just finishing editing the video and audio files I recorded on the Masai Mara.

I recorded a lot of video footage and audio clips and have been working hard over the last few days sorting them out.

I hope to have the first of the up over the next week which hopefully will help anybody thinking of taking Kenya safari holidays decide if its’ the sort of trip they want to make. I have to say just listening to the audio again brought it all back.

Here’s a taster of what’s to come. Its’ our guide, Joram, talking about the “big cats”. Joram is a lovely man with a wonderful voice which I think you will enjoy listening to:

Last year, when on my Kenya Safari I spent a wonderful hour or so beside a small water hole watching a group of hippos bathing, lazing and generally just playing about.

It was an exciting and unique experience and I felt really priviledged being there watching them.

There was a brief moment when they looked up and saw us and began swimming over to us when I really began to worry about how fast I could run if called to!! But they seemed to find us pretty uninteresting and carried on with what they were doing.

Here’s a great bit of footage from the BBC’s “Big Cat Diary” featuring these wonderful creatures:-

I hope your watching the BBC’s fabulous “Big Cat Week ” that comes “live” each evening from Kenya’s Masai Mara.

As you will know if you’ve been following this blog I was there last November, courtesy of Virgin Holidays, taking video and photographs for the main Kenya Holidays 4u website.

If you havent’ been watching this fantastic series then I really urge you to start watching itv from today. The camera work is amazing and the contributions from the presenters, Kate Silverton and Simon King make each program exciting and informative. Added to this they have contributions from a Masai game guide, Jackson, who adds his knowledge of someone actually working on a day to day basis.

As I say, I spent 6 days on the Masai Mara last November and it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. I really urge you to go and experience this unique country.
