Back in Kenya and Enjoying the Maasai Mara

We have had an exhausting couple of days, but we finally have a few minutes to share a couple of our adventures. Yesterday, after a long drive from the Serengeti in Tanzania, we crossed the border back into Kenya (stories to come later) to go to the Maasai Mara. We had a wonderful evening seeing cheetahs, leopards, and many other animals. We awoke very early this morning to enjoy a wonderful balloon ride followed by a champagne breakfast. From there we started our game drive where we had the most amazing experience. A cheetah jumped on the hood of our Land Cruiser, not once, but twice. We will share photos of that unbelievable and unforgettable encounter once we can get to all of our photographs. Still a few more days on safari before we head to Nairobi.

We are in the middle of the second day in the Serengeti. It is once again a completely different experience and magnificent in every way. We chose not to bring a computer in order to save on space, so we will have to wait until we get home to go through the 5,000 photographs that we have taken. With another five and a half days on safari and several days in Nairobi, the numbers will be staggering. Until then we can transfer from the camera, we are limited to pictures from our phones, but we still have thousands to choose from. We have already seen the “Big Five”, lion, rhino, water buffalo, elephant, and we saw the leopard yesterday. WIFI continues to be spotty, so we will post again at the next chance that we get.

We have seen over 40 lions and we will get to see many more

Day Three of Our Safari Adventure – Ngorongoro Crater

Every day has been a little bit different and today was no exception. We spent the day driving through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It is a spectacular place that we will describe in detail when we return home. The highlight of the day was seeing a black rhino. They are very rare and it was a treat to get the opportunity to watch it’s strength and beauty. It was a cool and cloudy day, but that didn’t diminish the experience.
