Today we had a sort of lie-in... We were woken up at 7.30 for breakfast at 8, and then we set off for an all-day game drive/safari just before 9. Kristina had a bit of an embarrassing time trying to get out of Enkipai Camp, which included: a herd of cattle, stalling on a hill, beeping the horn, lots of people looking at her, and the circle of life blaring through our speakers!! We went through a different gate, so we drove 30 mins instead of 15 to get into the a...

Today was another stupidly early start!!!! The gates to the Mara open at 6.30am, so Karen wanted to get there at 6.30... We got a wake up call at 5.45, then tea was at 6, and we were meant to leave at 6.15, but the boys didn't get to the "mess tent" (dining room/siting room) until 6.30 so we were slightly late getting off. We got to the gate by 6.50 which was perfectly in time to get beautiful pictures of the sunrise!! We saw the usual animals (giraffe, wildebee...

So today we had another stupidly early start at 6.30am - even Kristina couldn't get up!! It was all in favour of getting away by 9, which we manage to do!! After breakfast and more packing up of course!! So the journey took around 6 hours in total, with 2 of those hours on smooth tarmac. The rest on bumpy roads!! We stopped for lunch in the middle of a plain, covered in wildebeest!! Amazing sight/site!! We finally got to the camp at around 3pm or just before. We...

So today was another kind of lie-in, with a wake up at 8.30 and breakfast at 9 so we could get off by 9.45am. Krissie and Karen had to go into Kericho to get 2 cars fixed, and Ken was working, so Seumas was the Gammie's tour guide. We first went into one of the tea factories!! We saw how everything was processed and cut up and made into tea eventually - very interesting!! We then went off to a flower factory!! We saw how they grew, cut, packaged and sent off. It ...

Today we had a sort of lie-in, with breakfast at 8.30 in order to set off at 9.30 to get to Dimbalil (a man-made dam). When we (only the kids) got there it was quiet and still, no people and no wind. Me and Kristina rowed out on a small boat an sunbathed and read for about an hour and a half whilst the boys attempted to catch a fish (they failed). Karen and my parents arrived at the dam just as the boys got out the boards to have a go at paddle-boarding - they ...
