For the last three days we have been in Maasai Mara and haven't had much access to the internet and so here is what we did on the three days that we were there.
Day 1: June 20
On this day we got up early from the Methodist Guest House and started our long trip to Maasai Mara. We got there around 1:30 in the afternoon which is about 6:30 am in Michigan. When we got there, we had lunch and then relaxed for an hour or two, then went for our first game drive. On our first game drive, within an hour, we saw the Big 5. The big 5 include: the lion, leopard, Rhino, Elephant, and the Buffalo. We also saw a cheetah and her two cubs eating a gazelle, zebras, and some topi. After the game drive, we came back and had dinner and then went to bed.
Day 2: June 21
On this day we got up at 5:45 for an early morning game drive. We first saw many giraffes and zebra. We then saw 3 cheetah brothers. After a little while of not seeing much, Gatwiri spotted 2 lion brothers sleeping. We got up sooooo close to them and they didn't even care that we were there. After the game drive, we came back and had breakfast. Then Nkatha and Izzy went to the pool and played games and made bracelets. After a little while, Mrs. Redfield came down and we played ping-pong. Then we went up to the tents and got Gatwiri up from her nap and Izzy and her went swimming. The water was quite chilly. After that we had lunch and went for our afternoon game drive. We saw the same lion brothers; but this time they were awake. We also saw 7 cubs and 3 lionesses eating a fresh dinner of zebra meat. We also saw a lot of elephants and some more giraffes. Then we went to the river to see some hippos. We saw a LOT of them, but they were all in the water. We also saw a flock of ostriches and pumbas (warthogs). Then we headed back to the hotel and had some dinner; then went to bed.
Day 3: June 22
Today we woke up early again and set off on another early morning game drive. We saw a lot more giraffes and the same family of lions with their cubs and the 2 lion brothers. Other than that we didn't see a lot of big animals. We also saw the usual zebras, gazelles, and antelope and spotted a few cool birds. After the morning game drive we had breakfast, packed our bags, and headed on the long journey back to Nairobi. When we got back to the Nairobi, we got some pizza and came to the Methodist Guest House to eat and then relax and sleep
