Wine tasting in the Western CapeThe second vineyard sat us outside in a tree shaded area that overlooked the vines. Its a smaller vineyard…we were the only people there. They served the wine to us outside. It was very relaxing. - Gajordandk51

Lonely Planet author Alison Bing describes Marrakesh as a city that fairytales are made of. Blind alleys and secret courtyards, souks and the famous Djemaa el Fna Square that comes to life.every night. Surrounded by storytellers, snake charmers and acrobats, every stall is manned by the best chef in town.

Located about 5 hours west of Nairobi, Masai Mara is the Kenya’s greatest park. The Mara is an extension of the Serengeti and covers over 1500sqkm. It contains a staggering amount of game especially during the annual wildebeest migration. The wildebeest give birth to their calves in the South East Serengeti then move into the Western Serengeti before heading north to Masai Mara in July. They feed on the lush grasses of the Mara until October as the Serengeti plains are too dry. In December, the rains return to the Serengeti as does the migration. There are 1.3 million wildebeest; 200,000 zebra; and 350,000 gazelles estimated in the migration. Of course all the lions follow these animals making the Mara the most predator-packed reserve in the world. Cheetahs are very difficult to see in most African parks, but they are very easily seen here. We camped for 16 days in the park at a community run Masai camp near Talek gate. We can’t wait to do it again!
