mwea national reserve

The manager David was very hospitable and we even got given a paper map (which was requested back when we left?) and maps are rare unless you pay the full tourist style ones. So the welcome was more personal, and the reason I believe this was, was because nobody ever goes there...The park is small, but the wild life density is poor. After 2 days we didn't see anything other than 3 deer, and normally they are so plentiful that they are ignored after the 1st day.GOOD - Summary:-Warm welcome-Quiet (as there is nobody else in the park)-has a dam/lake with some tranquil view points.-One of the cheaper parksRoads were fair and I didn't need LOW4x4 to get anywhereBAD - Summary:-Too far from Nairobi (2:45hrs), not worth the drive.-There were lots of broken trees due to their supposedly high Elephant population (we saw 1 at the gate when we drove in, and that was it for the rest of the weekend. -Camp site was not flat, had thorns EVERYWHERE so you would need to bring a rake or serious tent base. No toilets nor water supplied. (ok the lake was 10m away, but not nice water to do anything with)-Low animal densityI would never go back as one can get something closer and better for the same price.
