About this trip

Adventure to the cradle of the world

Africa

 Birthplace of mankind, huge, sprawling, complicated, mystical, breathtaking and vanishing. There is something about this amazing continent that gets into your blood,

inspiring poets and adventure seekers throughout the ages.

Home to magnificent species, from brilliant birds to giraffe and elephants. Where gazelle, lion and hyena storm and stalk in a dance that has existed since the dawn of time. Where the sunsets glow as no where else on earth. Join Arte for Elephants for this once in a lifetime, small group experience to the sweeping plains of the Masai Mara.

"I never knew a morning in Africa where I did not wake up happy". Hemingway

Once again an amazing retreat with Arte for Elephants! This trip was so much more than I had imagined, seeing beautiful Kenya and all the animals was a dream come true. I loved visiting the Karen Blixen museum, seeing the baby elephants at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the Rothschild giraffes at Giraffe Center and last but not least : Masai Mara and Amboseli. I will cherish this experience in my heart for ever. Thank you Thyra and David.. and our amazing group! Until we meet again! Asante Sana!

What an experience this trip was. I went into it not knowing the ins/outs of the trip. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. That said, I'm eternally grateful for the experience... just wish I were 10 years younger! The only thing that was extremely difficult was the accommodation at the Bed & Breakfast in Nairobi. The accommodations were straight up a hill, with no one available to carry suitcases when we arrived late at night. Since the altitude is over a mile high, and not being adjusted to this that experience was daunting at best. I would give the B & B a 4 out of 10. If you are younger, no problem. If you are older, beware. Be prepared for a lot of bouncing as the roads in the Masai Mara are deeply rutted. One of the Masai guides was the most knowledgeable guys in the Mara. He seems to know every inch of the place and takes you "off road" a lot. The best moments I had were with him when he took us to a pride of lionesses (2 nursing their cubs) and we got to follow them down a road as they left their resting place and wandered down the road, us racing to be in front of them! What Photos! Glad I went. Thanks Thyra and David! great hosts...

Everything was great. An amazing experience. Beautiful, typical and comfortable accomodations. Nice group. Breathtaking sceneries. Stunning and numerous animals. Etc. But this couldn't have been such a unique experience without all the Massai guides (and friends now) during the game drives in Massai Mara and above all the perfect organization and the personal assistance by Thyra and David Rutter who made us feel like the best group they ever had. It was really really worth the (for me big amount of) money I spent. It was a dream come true. Even better than everything I had imagined. I wish I could repeat this experience !!!!!
