Travels with Anne

This morning Carol and I went on a sunrise game drive. Amazing! Unlike the Serengeti you can go off road here and get very close to the animals. We were 30 feet from a cheetah with a fresh kill and then were blessed to see a lioness with three cubs

.   

The afternoon game drive was awesome. our first sighting was lots of Topi, and wart hogs. Our first elephant came along shortly after, followed by an ostrich family and a tortoise of all things. The immenseness of the Mara is incredible. The highlight of the afternoon was watching a large family of hippos wallow and play at the bend in a river. they were amazing to watch. the day ended with Eland sightings and some incredible zebra behaviour. It is impossible to adequately describe or photograph this place- you have to be here.
