Jambo all! The yawning friend to the left is the appointed welcoming representative for the new neighborhood we have moved into! From the deck of our "tent"we look down on the Mara River and the hippos and crocodiles that live there. (Do not worry, mom and GG, we are high up the bank and do not plan on going to the water's edge.)
We left Nairobi this morning and flew to the Masai Mara Game area on a plane that was much too large for Jeff's sense of adventure. He was terribly disappointed that our plane had 4 engines (I was delighted). We were the 4th stop on the route and so we saw three dirt airstrips before the one where our safari club picked us up. From the plane we saw elephants, wildebeests, buffalo, zebras, impalas, and maybe a rhino (it was far away). On the drive from the airstrip to the club we saw hippos, crocodiles, zebras, impalas -and we haven't even gone on a game drive yet! In an hour we jump in a Toyota Land Cruiser (I should be right at home) with open sides and roof to get closer to whatever our driver can find.
If you have any ideas about coming here, I can say that already, it is worth the hard work fo getting oneself to Kenya!
