Maasai Mara

Today, we said goodbye to the Masai Mara, but not before going on a final game drive - and what a game drive it was.

After not having seen the leopard on my safari 8 years ago, we finally saw it. It was only brief as it was running through the bushes, but we were up close to it. It was a bit of a mission, as it was a very shy one and very difficult to spot.

In addition, the morning's game drive was spectacular as we saw a pride of lion (male, female, cubs) up close after a successful hunt and a female cheetah chilling with cubs, too. So all three big cats on one morning.

So finally, my mission of spotting the famous Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant) has finally been completed.

Also sneakily crossed the border to Tanzania for a few minutes.

Thank you Masai Mara, you were absolutely spectacular!Read more
