Buffalo Luxury Camp

Waiting for the Taasa at the Lobo Airstrip we said goodbye to our guide. The awaitingTaasa open air transport was manned by Ruben and Sa’id who constructed a table complete with food and libations. The two escorted us to the Lodge and explained that Ruben was the spotter and Sa’id was the driver. Our arrival at the property featured approximately up to 30 employees, lined up in formation, dancing, and chanting a welcoming song. We met Kezia, our Taasa escort and Melissa, the manager. Our accommodation was a elegant-tented cabin with an open bath hidden in the rear of the structure. The food and service were outstanding, and the demeanor of the staff was respectful and helpful. When walking on the property, we were always escorted with a Masai “guard” with a spear to discourage any curious animals. Two nights for dinner we were privileged to dine with Melissa, who was pleasant, knowledgeable, and a valuable source of the endless plains and the history of the property. She was warm and welcoming, and that lodge exuded her heart and soul. The four days we stayed at Taasa was great. Ruben and Sa’id drove us for many hours each day including a trip to Masai Village. Early mornings up to dusk we were treated to Serengeti scenes impossible to express. A nighttime Safari was included in our schedule, and a treat. The two guides were informative, very friendly, and informed.
