“The view of the Masai Mara from 60 metres above in a hot air balloon brought a tear to my eye. Stay at the Little Governors Safari Camp and book your hot air balloon trip. Elephants grazing, giraffes eating, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. Something I will remember forever.”

“When going on safari remember to take an extension cable, that way you can charge your phone, camera, IPad and any other electrical items overnight at the same time. Nothing worse than running out of battery in your camera just when you spot one of The Big 5.”
