Day 2: Nairobi – Karen Blixen Camp Around noon, we landed at the airstrip of Karen Blixen Camp in the Northern Mara region. On our way to the camp, we were already treated to sightings of various animals, such as giraffes and herds of wildebeest with their calves. Upon our arrival at Karen Blixen Camp, a delicious lunch was […]
