Maasai Mara, Kenya

We caught a shuttle bus from Arusha to Nairobi which took around 6 hours including the border crossing. The next day, we drove to the Maasai Marra. When we arrived, we went for an afternoon game drive. We saw elephants, zebras and a family of lions. The landscape was slightly greener than the Serengeti. Our accomodation was in permanent tents and it was really nice especially mum’s tent - which was huge with a marble bathroom. The next day we continued back into the Maasai Marra - we saw lots of the same game but the highlight was seeing a leopard in a tree, eating its kill (gazelle). In the evening we visited another Maasai village. This one seemed more authentic than the one in Tanzania. A man took us to his house and chatted with us about what his life was like.Read more
