"The hippos will be your neighbors," my safari guide, Nancy, tells me as she picks me up from the Ol Kiombo Airstrip and drives me through the seemingly endless savanna to the new Mara Toto Tree Camp.
"Living with the birds at their level is transforming," says Dereck, who ensured no trees were cut down during the building of the camp.
"I was born here, raised here, and now I work here," says Nancy, who was not only the first female safari guide from her village in the east of the Maasai Mara but also Great Plains' first female safari guide in Kenya.
