Earlier this year Emma\u00a0explored the breathtaking landscapes and remarkable wildlife of this East African gem. From the vibrant city of Nairobi to the expansive plains of the Masai Mara, prepare to be enthralled by the wonders of Kenya.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nairobi<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

The capital of Kenya, this city is a gateway to adventure where Emma recommends getting a good night\u2019s rest with an overnight stay to unwind and recharge. <\/span>Emma stopped for breakfast at<\/span> Eka Hotel <\/span><\/i>but explained that after her flight from London, she could have done with a break. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was exhausted, and I would personally recommend an overnight stay in Nairobi before heading off on safari,\u201d said Emma.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She and her group were transferred to their next destination via light aircraft. \u201cI was nervous about my first experience on a light aircraft – I don\u2019t enjoy turbulence and knew I would need to expect this flying low through the clouds but once we were in the air seeing the landscape below, it made the flight so much easier – plus, I had a short nap!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Loisaba<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

The first stop on Emma\u2019s itinerary was Loisaba. \u201cLoisaba is hot, a dry landscape filled with cacti. It was such a contrast from the city of Nairobi and only an hour’s flight away. Home to the \u201cbig 4\u201d (minus the rhino) I was excited to start the safari experience and had my eyes peeled for wildlife the minute we arrived.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

At <\/span>Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp<\/span><\/i>, Emma enjoyed breathtaking views and spacious accommodations. She was impressed by some of the thrilling activities like mountain biking, camel rides, and horseback safaris, available. <\/span>\u201cMaking it a clear winner for those looking for a bit of adventure,\u201d she mused. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
