Welcome to our blog site. If you're reading this you probably have time to waste so we'll try to make it as interesting as possible so that you'll want to keep reading it the more it's updated and possibly to entice you to come out here as well.
Our aim for this blog is to recount our experiences here at the Kenyan Masai Mara National Park over the next three months with lots of semi-decent pictures (we hope) and entertaining stories. The opportunity to work for Abercrombie & Kent and participate in all their organised activities is something that's seldom offered to anyone in the world so it would be a shame if we kept all our memories to ourselves; memories which will no doubt fade as the years go by. Thus on a personal (and selfish) level this blog will enable us to remember with clarity 30 or 40 years from now everything that happened here at Sanctuary Olonana over these next 3 months. We will attempt to update this blog regularly every week or when something has happened that we cannot wait to tell everyone else about.
In the short time it has taken to set this blog up since we arrived (9th April) we have already encountered nearly every single type of wild animal possible (both rare and common). This includes a rare sighting of a leopard cub, lions up a tree (which never happens), lions in the middle of mating, a Black Rhino with her 1 month-old child (the rarest mammal in the whole Mara - only seen briefly every 3 months). If this is what we've already encountered then we cannot wait to see what else is in store. There have been rumours of community projects, hot-air balloon rides, treks over the Masai Mara, and a traveling safari to name but a few. So relax and hopefully you'll enjoy reading this blog as much as we have enjoyed being here.
Many Thanks,
Xav & Caitlin.
