Following on from last years trip to Ulusaba in South Africa this year the wife and I decided to try Sir Richard's other safari resort in the Masi Mara called Mahali Mzuri which apparently means beautiful place - we'll see about that.
There's a link to the resort here:

As ever life as a flyer talker means we aren't going straight to NBO, that's right we are taking a slight detour via CMB! A decent J fare from CMB was enough to convince the wife to have a nice weekend in CMB before our Safari. Now when you cost up the hotel and the F flight to get to CMB it costs way more than the saving but it's definitely not as much fun and we get to go to Sri Lanka twice which is no bad thing and get to earn a few more Skywards miles we can never use.
Trip itinerary is as follows:
Ek348 EK First class to CMB
2 nights at casa colombo (boutique hotel in CMB), lunch at the ministry of crab
Ek651 CMB to DXB EK J, then EK 721 to NBO EK J
A night at the ole serini hotel before the transfer on Air Kenya to Mara North Airstrip
5 nights at Mahali Mzuri
Transfers back to wilson then to NBO for our flight back to dubai on EK720 on the old a330 in business class.
This all starts on Friday, pictures as I go fingers crossed...
