Monday 28 September 2015 We arrive in Nairobi, Kenya. Meet up with Stuart Price MakeItKenya.com photographer. A short 45-minute flight gets us to Governor's Camp on the banks of the Mara River. After a quick lunch we head out to test our new photographic kit and broadcast equipment. We see plenty lion, elephant, buck and of course a few sizeable herds of wildebeest and zebra. No crossings today, but they're definitely gathering in numbers on the East side of the river. Tomorrow looks to be promising. Videos by HerdTracker. All photos by Stuart Price, MAKE IT KENYA.

Thursday 1 October 2015 “The Mara never disappoints” - that saying was certainly true today. Even though the river crossing we expected did not happen, we saw so many wonderful wildlife sightings, including a lioness stalk, hunt and catch food for her cubs. So many magical moments here in Kenya. And great fun to experience all of this with the CNN crew who was covering the world's first live web broadcasts from the great wildebeest migration.

Saturday 3 October 2015 Our first day on safari from Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp. Our knowledgable, personable and enthusiastic guide Jackson took us to the deep south of the Mara Triangle where we were surrounded by herds of wildebeest. We also saw cheetah, a juvenile martial eagle, long-crested eagle, four of the big five in a single scene - and then enjoyed a night drive where we swapped some great stories with Jackson.

Sunday 4 October 2015 Our last full day on safari in Kenya's magnificent Mara region. We were on game drive from sunrise to sunset - 13 and a half hours. We were rewarded with superb sightings of all three big cats: Leopard, Lion and Cheetah. And not another vehicle in sight for any of these sighings. That's the magic of the Mara.
