Vast, wide savannahs. A red African sun casting golden light on the baobab trees as it sets. Running giraffes and yawning lions that you admire through binoculars while "The Circle of Life" echoes in your head. Parking your butt on a pearly white beach in the shade of a gently swaying palm tree. Leaping into the air with a Masai man, wrapped in colourful cloths. Cutting through the lush, misty rainforest, swinging from vines. Taking a bite out of a juicy mango, the juice dripping down your chin.
"From vast hilly landscapes in Masaai land to the dry desert and hot springs at Magadi, staying with a Masaai family and sleeping in a tent among the wildlife, having breakfast with fresh pancakes in the morning sun and going to bed after a beer by the campfire, it was an unforgettable holiday within a holiday. " - Geraldine & Freek
