Masai Mara Safari






Yaniv, Blair, Pascale and I went to Masai Mara for three days last week. On our way into the park, Masai women came to the car and held out braclets and necklaces through the windows trying to get us to buy them. They would not stop no matter hw many times we said no! When one women would lower the price, the other would too but we kept saying "No, really, we don't want to buy anything!" We soon arrived at Ngama Tented camps, which were not tents at all... but elaborate cabins disguised as tents. We ate a late lunch and went out for a evening game drive. We saw to snuggly male lions sleeping in the grass, a leopard dangling in a tree, gorgeous landscapes, elephants, zebra, gazelle, wildebeests, water buffalo, warthogs, and more. We had nice meals and deep sleep...other than the hyenas howling outside our room! The next day we saw more wilderness and animals including a cheetah perched on top of a mount of dirt looking for prey! It was a really fun trip and was a beautiful side of Kenya we hadn't seen.
