My first safari
by Jeremy Sanders
I have spent all night on a flight to Africa, and I must admit I felt exhausted once I
landed. The only thing that made me feel better was a smiling, tanned pilot who took us
quickly through Customs. Life suddenly became a lot better when I realised that we
wouldn't have to wait at all to catch our next flight. We were just about to board a much
smaller plane this time for our first African safari.
When you are on a short break every hour matters, so the fact that we were
short-cutting the queues at Customs meant that we could be heading off to the
countryside much sooner than anyone had expected.
Our second flight, the one from Nairobi, lasted less than an hour but was the most
I'm telling you, it's just breathtaking; one cannot visit this place only once in their
lifetime.

fascinating one I had ever been on. It took us out of the city until we reached Mount Kenya. D. he needed to get a good sleep as it was the middle of the night.
There the view suddenly changed. Our pilot started flying lower, pointing out to the
elephants, giraffes, gazelles and even rhinos as they ran beneath us. We did several rounds
before reaching our final destination, Loisaba Lodge, where we landed.
Loisaba Wilderness is a 150sq km, privately-managed wildlife area land kept in its
natural state, especially for wild animals to live in and be protected. It is much larger than
many of Kenya's parks and a safe place for more than 250 species of birds and 50 species
of mammals, including elephants. The wildlife here, unlike in the game parks, is still wild,
and so, far more exciting to see than bored lions lying in front of tourists.
We were soon taken to our rooms, located high up on a hill. From each of the seven
rooms guests can walk out on to their private balcony to enjoy the wildly dramatic view -
61,000 acres of savannah and rocky area lie beneath you. A bit further away, you can
observe, what I believe was the highlight of the visit, a watering hole, always drawing in
animals for a drink.
