Evening folks.
Here we go with a first posting on my trip, - 2 days!.
Many of you know that I was born in Kenya an lived there for many years before moving to Italy. I still have two sisters living there, plus a brother living in Tanzania, and during my last trip I visited both and had a memorable trip.
This time I decided it would a strictly family trip and will try and make it as enjoyable as possible.
Our first week will be passed at our family home in Diani Beach which is located along the south coast of Kenya. Beach front and with a marvelous garden full of birds, monkeys and various domestic animals (dogs, cats, parrots, domestic pigs, peacocks, ducks and so on). Total relax, photography and meeting up with old friends which means afternoon tea, braai and maybe a couple of cold beers....maybe a couple more!
Right next door we have the Colobus Conservation Centre and thats why I say we have monkeys of 4 different species (baboon, colobus, sykes and vervet) permanently in the garden.

On 23rd July we'll be flying out from the coast to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, which is the Kenyan extension of the Serengeti National Park, and will be staying in an exclusive luxury tented camp for 3 nights and flying back to the coast on the 26th.

This part of the trip is and will be entirely dedicated to photography as this is the period of te Great Wildebeest Migration from the Serengeti Plains into the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Millions of Wildebeests, zebra, antelopes, gazzelle and whatever else migrate and it is considered one of the wonders of nature. A must for every lover of nature, Africa and photography.
From 26th to the 30th we have four days of total relax and then fly out back to Europe on the 30th of July.
Two weeks dedicated to my family, family members living there and ....................
Hope to be back on friday with the beginning of my story and pics.
