Land here amidst the endless herds of game for which the Mara is famous. This is where you will join your camp, set up on a small stream in the heart of the wildlife area. The tents are comfortable and mosquito proof with a loo and shower tent set up just behind. The mess is fully equipped and our kitchens well experienced at providing delicious meals in the bush. The game viewing is always amazing and the chance of seeing a big cat in action is good. Patience is often rewarded with the incredible sight of lions springing from cover onto their prey or a cheetah racing along (at sixty mph.) hard on the heels of a fleet-footed gazelle. Sharp-eyed spotters on the roof of each vehicle increase the chance of such sightings. Amongst these teeming numbers of buffalo, topi, zebra, and gazelle are the Masai with their great herds of cattle. . All drives are in very comfortable, well-equipped 4-wheel drive vehicles (there is cushioned seating even on the roof). End each day with a fine dinner and pleasant stories by the fireside and then to bed with the roar of lions. 
Leaving the Mara this morning, catch a schedule flight north to Nanyuki. Here we would be transferred to Loldaiga, a large game ranch with its own range of hills an hours from Nanyuki. Arriving at the Farm House, a lovely cedar built house with fantastic views on to Mt Kenya, where we would be staying for the next two nights, we would find our horses.
Riding north today, with a picnic lunch in our saddle bags, we would go down the hills to the lower country, where we find more game and slightly different varieties, such as oryx, gerenuk, dikdik, and more elephant, buffalos etc. Here we would spend our first night camping with the horses, (our camp having come from the very south of Kenya to join us on the ranch). 
Riding south west today, we would cross over Chololo ranch to a lovely campsite on the Ewaso Ngiro River. Here we may find some herds of eland and plenty of monkies along the river. As it is not a long move today, we may go for a walk in the evening and explore some of the large rocky kopjes on this ranch.
