Three nights in the heart of the Masai Mara… and what an experience! 🇰🇪
We’ve spent the last three nights at Enka Kenya, a beautiful tented camp in the middle of the African wilderness, and it’s been quite something.
If you’ve never stayed in a tented safari camp, it’s a very different experience from your usual hotel. You’re genuinely immersed in your surroundings, rather than just looking out at them.
There are just 11 tents here, which is one of the reasons the service is so exceptional. Everything feels personal. The team know you, they anticipate what you need and nothing is too much trouble. It’s that lovely combination of being looked after without ever feeling like you’re in a big hotel.
The camp sits right beside the river, and when darkness falls, the wildlife really comes to life. Hippos and elephants regularly come to visit, and you can certainly hear them! In fact, we’ve been listening to elephants chomping away at the trees nearby at night. I’ll be honest, I’ve not had a lot of sleep!
There are no fences separating you from the wilderness, so once it’s dark, you’re escorted back to your tent by a member of the team for your own safety. It’s a slightly different experience from your usual evening stroll back to your hotel room!
And the food deserves a mention all of its own. Absolutely exceptional, with everything homemade and so much of the fruit and vegetables grown right there at the camp. Even the watermelons were homegrown… well, until the elephants kept helping themselves! It seems they have very good taste. 😂
Three days of incredible wildlife, beautiful surroundings, amazing food and genuinely outstanding hospitality. What an experience it has been!
