That's awesome! Thank you very much for sharing and I'm glad you enjoyed watching

Yes, I just spent 1 day in the crater. The vehicle entry fees are quite high ($295 on top of your $70 entry fees per person) so most people tend to only spend 1 day here. You'd have been disappointed with seeing elephants, lions, buffalos, zebras, hyenas, warthogs, hippos, wildebeest, 2 species of gazelle, serval cats, countless birds, golden wolves and waterbuck (and perhaps more I'm forgetting as this was over a year ago now) in 1 day? I've been on a lot of safaris across Africa and I'd consider this a good day on safari. You may be disappointed in many safari destinations, especially considering that wildlife is unpredictable and on some safaris you may not see much at all. For example, on one day in the Serengeti I saw 3 leopards, a cheetah, dozens of lions and much more. Then on another day I didn't see much at all beyond elephants.

You can certainly fly, yes! But at $300 per person each way, it isn't within everyone's budget range. I personally like to drive as I enjoy admiring the scenery 😁

How exciting! You can view a list of all my gear including the mounts (there are a few parts to them) here: ellamckendrick.com/my-gear/ The mounts fit on most safari trucks, yes. I've put them on around 6 different vehicles at this point.

Hey, thanks for watching! It's very expensive to purchase a permit to fly in the reserve. In fact bringing a drone into Kenya is a very expensive process as they are strict about 'importing' them. There are places where you can hire a drone in Kenya instead. These shots were actually filmed in a different part of Kenya and not within the reserve.

Thanks for watching! It's not advisable to go out of the car in the middle of the Serengeti - there are instead designated lunch and toilet spots where you can walk around. You can get quotes and book your safari here: safarisbyella.com/quote/

Wow, thank you so much! Your comment has really made my day 😁 I'm sure you'll have an amazing trip to Africa - my favourite continent in the world!

They one of my absolute favourites!

​Did you realise we also have leopard/panther, puma, lynx, wild in the uk? They are of course incredibly elusive and are rarely seen.?​@@EllaMcKendrick

Ir really is! 🦓

No kidding, that's just amazing!​@@EllaMcKendrick

Hahaha 🤣 in my subsequent videos I pronounce it a different way. I still am not sure if it's right as the locals seem to pronounce it differently again!

Thank you very much for watching!

Thank you very much!!

Thanks for watching!

Asante sana!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I love that you saw the same wonderful cheetah! The Masai Mara is certainly one of the busier parks to visit. I did have a balloon ride booked but it was cancelled due to bad weather sadly.

I stayed at Hôtel du Plateau

Kenya is a fantastic country to visit! I hope you go on another safari - it's such a magical experience!
