The Masai Mara!

So last Saturday me and Moon set off at 7am for the Masai Mara. It was about 4 and a half hours there. It was funny, the road across the rift valley was really very good, then after a couple of hours we turned off onto an okay road and then eventually off onto just track if even that!
We arrived to this luxurious amazing camp! The tents were just out in the bush, up on stilts with en-suit bathrooms!! We had lunch (were served it, 3 courses!) and went off on our first game drive. Within an hour we'd seen elephants and lions! Elephants are awesome, my first thought was wow they are huge!! And so graceful and beautiful. The whole place is beautiful i wish i could upload all my pictures!
On Sunday we went on an all day drive and went to the Mara river. There we saw the hippo in the picture with her less than 1 day old baby! She was pretty wary of us and even came charging towards us at one point but we were up this bank so it was fine. And we had a guide with a gun...
Back at the camp i took a bath and we had our three course dinner before going to bed with the random sounds all around us! 6am the next morning saw me lying awake listening to the loudest birds i've ever heard and some other strange sounds that i later worked out to be the monkeys and baboons. When we walked to breakfast the baboons were running around on the ground and the monkeys were in the trees throwing things at them!!! Breakfast too was an experience.. 'welcome to breakfast. For starter we have fruits, enjoy your fruits!'
There happened to be 3 christian guys staying at the same camp (most people were old, though there were only 10 at most other people there!) who were volunteering at a mission hospital not so far from here. Its cool to meet other travellers im getting better at talking to strangers too!
On the Monday morning we went out early and saw these two amazing lions. They were just walking so calmly and majestically past the cars so so close.
On the way home we gave a lift to the chef of the camp who was going to Nairobi and some girl we picked up at the gate who is living in the Park doing research on hyenas so she told us some pretty interesting stuff!!
That feels like a pretty poor blog, i wish i had the time to write more!I'll try tell you all the other stuff i have to tell soon!
