A Bush Breakfast

On Monday we were given a unique opportunity to go on a game drive, but with a twist; A full buffet breakfast half way up the escarpment as the sun rises. At first my assumption was that the breakfast would be a contained in a picnic hamper and that we would stuff our faces with croissants quickly, but no. As we scaled the hill the feast that was laid out before us became clearer and clearer. There were clothed tables situated perfectly over the Masai plains and two buffet table crammed full with both hot and cold options. Our friend Emmanuel from the kitchens was even there with a makeshift cooker immediately on-hand to fry us up any type of eggs you could imagine. And so with a plate piled high with bacon, sausage, french bread, potatoes, and eggs I sat down at my table and admired the view that lay before me. After everyone had been well and truly satisfied we then proceeded to go on our game drive which turned out to be highly successful as we saw a male lion tucking into his own freshly caught breakfast while making some gruesome sounds. At 12:00 we were back at Sanctuary Olonana and I had a pile of ironing to do...
