Thank you Russell.
Your comments prompted me to check my logbook. I don't know what made me think it was 1979 it would have been 1981 0r 1982.
You are obviously referring to Mara Serena Lodge so getting quite close.
As a matter of fact my first flight into the Masai Mara I landed at Mara Serena but I was supposed to be going to Governors Camp. The only info I had was that the runway was east/west and was on the Mara River. Both camps fit that description. When nobody came to meet us I get airbourne again and circled the lodge to get some attention. shortly after landing again the driver who came out advised that Governors was 7 miles away over there. No doubt the pax (all German) have told that story a few times. Another error I made was that the schedule called for a game drive at Amboseli on day 1 and a stop at Kilaguni on day 2 on the way back to Mombasa. Morning flights were generally made at 8000' but afternoon flights were generally (very naughty) at 13k or above so long as none of the pax were going blue. This offered some relief from the temperature but did nothing to reduce the turbulence.
Due to the fact that I will be away from the internet for a couple of days and not wishing to keep you guys waiting I trust it is in order to declare

The answer by the way was Kichwa Tembo in the Masai Mara
