Masaai Mara the car broke down and was being fixed for 3 hours. While we waited at a village gas station with nothing to do around, this means we missed the safari. for the first day. The only animals we saw were on arrival to Keerok lodge.

Accommodation at Keerok was shady low standard. There was no water provided on the 1st day and we had to buy water for (300 shillings each 3$ each) at the lodge. It is only after telling the driver-that he took it upon himself to go and buy water. We paid 1,250$ dollars per person for this trip. I have to add that my mother in law is 70 years old. she had to endure this with no special attention.

Keerok seems like a hotel that was good in the old days but today-has lost its glory. The staff at Keerok were super rude and unbothered about talking to guests.

Saw many animals, beautiful sunrise. Comfortable tents, nice group and professional guide. Roads are a bit rough at times and there are many tourists but it did not bother us.

It was all very exciting to be there and see all the animals in the wild. But there were not as many animals as I thought there would be. Your guide has to really work hard to find the cats for you to view and you might not see all the species. I can't help feeling that because of the large volume of safari vehicles that the animals have taken to hiding away. Our driver assured us that the animals are used to all the cars as they have been in the parks for so many years now. This probably is correct as the animals were not that concerned about the cars stopping to view them.
The tracks are so bad,that you get tossed and buffeted around in the car, so much so that we call it the African massage!!

There's a wider chance of meeting the big five there. We got to see four out of the fives. We were able to follow a lonely lion, watch a leopard (puma)devour his lunch, chat with 2 giraffes and missed our appointment with the rhinos all that before lunch. It's an amazing feeling to be in the wild with all these animals and more.

A bit closer to civilization; houses visible in the distance quite often, so you aren't "out there" in the same sense as in Masai Mara

It was sad to see that the Mara river had so little water.
