Today was our last full day on safari. We left as usual before sunrise and ate breakfast in the bush. We have eaten breakfast in the bush every day except one. We stayed out all day and ate lunch in the bush too. Our guide took us to the top of a hill where we could see the entire Mara. We could even see Tanzania.
It rained hard yesterday and everything was muddy today. Our guide can take our 4×4 anywhere-he even forged a river with rushing water!
We continued our pursuit of lions seeing a gorgeous male, several moms and many subadults (2-4 yr) and the cutest cubs- the youngest only a few weeks old. We have one more game drive in the morning so I will save the final lion tally until then.
After our game drive we take a flight to Nairobi. We will have to trade the sound of hippos outside our tent for the noise of the city and the safety of being a few feet from lions for the tight security of Nairobi. We loved the bush and wish our trip was just beginning rather than ending.
