Exploring the great Grumeti Reserves


As Amanda flew over the vast expanses of the Serengeti with its never ending views and feeling of space, she was reminded why we have dedicated our lives to safari and the conservation of our beautiful continent.  In Africa we can get back to the basics of life; to talk without anything to interrupt us other than the flight of a bird or call of an animal.  To be under the vast African skies; the smell and touch of the raw earth brings back the need for the simple things in life!


Her first night was spent at Faru Faru, a stunningly placed lodge over looking the beautiful and wild Grumeti River.  The whole lodge had a simple feeling and of course her favourite part was the outside shower where she could wash under the vast African sky.  It was full moon and she spent most of the night sitting by her window looking at the river bed just in case that illusive leopard came to visit.  What a magical night it was and so silent!
