A safari in pictures...


So our safari is now just a memory. We had 3 days, 2 nights on safari. It was such an awesome experience. Not being very big animal lovers... We weren't too sure about how we would find it... But we both loved it!!!

We went on an afternoon game drive for 2 hours on Monday, a 8 hour game drive on Wednesday and then a 2 hour drive this morning!


We saw 4 of the "big 5" and a heap of other animals... Here are some pics... They show more than what words could!!!

The beautiful Masai Mara game reserve
Lioness. They all spend most of the day I'm the shade of a tree. 
Lion cub :)
Sunrise this morning! 6:30am safari start
Disgusting slobby hippos!! (but Lucia quite likes them!!)
No doubt this is not the most beautiful animal you will come across... Wildebeest!
All looking at the cheetah... All the drivers obviously phone between themselves so HEAPS  of vans show up!
Zebra and wildebeest gathering for the migration!

King!
Our tent at the Manyatta Camp. WS a single room with an ensuite in a separate room. . 
Emu
Typical African view!! Love it
Impalas
Attractive behinds! 
Warthogs (or as our driver said "war-thogs")
Buffalo
Masai!! You dont know the meaning of  body-odor until you have stood this close to a Masai man! 
Taken from the lookout, looking out over the great Rift Valley!
Vultures!!! Eating an impala, thats also a stork in the background.
