Masai Mara, 2015

The Maasai Mara is one of the best places in the world to see game. The Governor’s Camp is the best place to stay and was our home for the duration of this visit, as it had been for three other visits.

We stayed in a Plains tent, overlooking the Masai Mara.

There are no fences between the camp and the game, so one night we were lucky enough to be woken up by the sound of a wild elephant that was so close to our tent that we could hear it breathing. We heard hippos fighting in front of our tent. In the distance, we could hear lions and hyenas. The sight of hippos walking through the camp at night was magical.
