Our day in Maasai Mara



We have arrived at our final destination where we will be for 3 days which is very nice as we have moved a lot.  The travel between lodges and preserves has been torturous at best...many bad roads and lots of dust.  Once we arrive, always it is beautiful, so we put up with the inconvenience.

Late game drive yesterday in the Maasai Mara brought great rewards after what had been a rather boring time.  ( can't believe we are bored with elephants, giraffes and zebras!). As we head back to the lodge, our guide hears something on the radio and takes off at breakneck speed.  We are rewarded with 2 female lions, their 7 cubs and a recently killed zebra.  The antics of the cubs entertain us all for a long time.  In the meantime, the African sunset captivates some of us.





                   



         



                   This is about as much of a kill as most want to see.

Our long day has a spectacular ending and we are so tired most of us struggle to stay awake through dinner.  A good night's sleep and we will be good to go again tomorrow.
