Hippos in the river.

On our last night, we sit around a fire pit by the Masa River, listening to snorting hippos. We saw many many animals today, from migrating wildebeests to mating lions!  

We start our long trip home tomorrow. A 7 hour drive to Nairobi followed by several flights home. As always, I'm ready to go home but sad to leave the country we visit. The people we have met on our travels have been wonderful, especially our safari companions - Trish and Murray, Yvonne and Ken and our guide, James.

Some parting shots below. We will post a bunch of photos online when we pick through the hundreds we've taken - I'll post the link here so check back. Also check back for a more well written blog entry about all the wonderful countries we visited and some overall impressions!

Wildebeest migration. Thousands and thousands of wildebeest in Masai Mara right now. Amazing. Along with thousands of FLIES!


Love on the Serengeti. Or at leat some action. Honeymoon lions mate constantly for 4-7 days and don't even eat or drink while mating!
