My Leopard Encounter

I know I mentioned in my previous post that I had not seen a cheetah and leopard in close range after more than 9 safaris. This encounter with the  leopard was breathtaking, the leopard walked alongside our vehicle for 150 meters. After this time I told the driver okay I am ready to go home now:)

We did pass through a certain area called the devils lava as  the area of about 2kms is full of lava that has been there for years with no particular origin. strange 
It now looks like I have a liking for Serena properties, well i kinda do, they do offer good resident prices however I have to say doing these trips made me realize the repetitive nature of their menus, it was good food all the same. My room had a great view of the watering hole which was really great. I stayed at Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge


I have to say I saw the leopard on my first game drive and thus besides our very own sun downer where I was the bar lady mixing the classic bush margaritas I stayed in and enjoyed the great views from my room. 

On our way out the driver took us to Mzima Springs where you go into a glass tunnel and view  the fish from eye level. It was really a nice climax of the trip. 

Tsavo West really had a great sunset that made the end of my trip really enjoyable.

Happy Travels
