We enjoyed sundowners on the rooftop bar, and I even received a birthday cake and wishes from the team at Surana,\u201d she said.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"none\">While in Samburu Emma also visited other properties which she previously only knew from booking holidays for her clients. \u201cThe journey to <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Saruni Samburu<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> was long and bumpy, but worth it as we climbed the spectacular rockface the property is perched on. The camp offers night game drives, walking safaris, stargazing activities and much more,\u201d said Emma who also noted its limitations. \u201cNot a property for those who have difficulty walking,\u201d she explained. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Another camp she visited was <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Samburu Intrepids <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">which had recently reopened after renovations. \u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The camp is very family-friendly and offers an \u201cadventure club\u201d for those aged 4 \u201312,\u201d she explained adding that it also offered extras such as bush dinners, private dining and activities including archery.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">Next on Emma\u2019s trip was a visit to a camp known for its resident bull elephants. \u201cElephant Bedroom Camp is an unfenced camp right on the Ewaso Nyiro River. All tents are large and comfortable, with private plunge pools and river-facing views,\u201d explained Emma who also sounded a warning. \u201cBe careful to lock up your tent, or you might find a family of vervets have moved in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIn the afternoon, we went on a game drive and saw a small herd of elephants munching on the bush, a troop of baboons climbing up a vertical rock face and a bloat of hippos basking in the sun.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259,&quot;335559991&quot;:360}\"><b>Masai Mara<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After a busy time in Samburu, Emma was whisked to the Majestic Masai Mara. An iconic National Reserve where one expects to encounter wildlife to leave visitors spellbound. Emma was not left wanting. \u201cWithin 15 minutes of being in the National Reserve, we witnessed a pride of lions with at least 12 cubs. It was an unbelievable sighting,\u201d she said. \u201cSearching for shade, the male lion found a spot right under my open window. Being so close to a wild lion was both exhilarating and terrifying. Definitely, an experience that will not be forgotten.\u201d<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">The first camp Emma visited was <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Mara Intrepids<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">, a family-friendly camp that offers immersive experiences for both young and old. \u201cThe property is one of few that offers three game drives per day for guests to make the most of the game whilst in the Mara,\u201d explained Emma. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11702\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11702\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-11702 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.somak.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC_0516-450x300.jpg\" alt=\"Landscape oriented photo of Elephants in the Kenyan Savannah.\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.somak.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC_0516-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.somak.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC_0516-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.somak.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC_0516-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.somak.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC_0516-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.somak.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DSC_0516-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11702\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elephants in the Masai Mara.
