In the Masai Mara, we stayed many times in a hyena research camp on the north side of the park (guests of a PhD hyena researcher who is the son of an old friend of ours from Senegal). Unfenced. Widely spaced tents. Intermittent Masai guard....but we are not any wild creature there's favorite food. A distaste reinforced by millennia of living with the Masai as their neighbors. Who do not live on cattle blood and milk alone. You are making me really really want to hop a plane.
Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of local knowledge, Cheryl!! We will be in “tents” too in Masai Mara but I’m pretty sure the term extreme glamping will apply! So nothing like your rustic experience which frankly sounds heavenly to me!! And I agree — you should hop in a plane today and join us! Or perhaps we can go together on our repeat trip!!
The pictures of the lioness following a scent are beautiful. And I can imagine what an unforgettable experience it was to see the fresh snow on Kilimanjaro. You might just be the best thing out there for Kenyan tourism!
Beautiful pictures Tami ❤️
Thank you Robbie!!

Tami, Your photos are stunning! Thank you for sharing. Do you use a camera on your phone or ?
Did you do all the planning? Use a tour agency? Other?
Thank you,
Rebecca
Thank you Rebecca! I just use my iPhone camera. I’ll PM you about the planning stuff!
