Jenny and I went on a 4-day, 3-night safari to the Maasai Mara, the largest protected game reserve in Kenya that runs contiguous with the Serengeti in Tanzania to the direct south. We stayed at the Sarova Mara tented camp, which by Mara standards was certainly luxurious, as we weren't sure that sleeping on dirt floors and not having hot water was the experience we wanted. But you certainly can find that if you want. The whole tented camp is based around game drives as meals are late to allow for people on safari to get back after morning and evening excursions. We got massages, sat by the pool, had really really good buffet-style food, and listened to birds as we fell asleep. Around our front porch was a family of baboons and a warthog that would visit the salt lick. And a sound we heard at night that we thought were only buffalo was actually the call of the elusive leopard. And although we saw leopard prints and heard the leopard call, we never did see one. Oh well, it leaves us a reason to visit again!
