Day 30-32 -- Masai Mara National Park

Joined the tour group for our pre-departure meeting on Saturday. Really young and energetic group of people so we should have fun over the next month. Out of 24 people on the truck, we got 6 indians...how ironic. There is myself, Rev/Vamsi (from hyderbad), Sahil (UK), Derek (Canada) and Natasha (Australia). The first day we took off for Masai Mara National Park. After a long, extremely bumpy ride that took 6 hours we went for an afternoon game drive...amazing! In a span of 2 hours we saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, a pride of male lions, a cheetah chasing a leopard...among other wildlife...The driver said he hasn't seen game like that in such a short time in his 18 year career! Anyways, we stayed there for 2 nights, had a total of 5 drives, but none lived up to the first one. Still saw lion cubs, a female pride and countless herds of lions. At the Mara we got to stay in fixed tents that had ensuite toilets and showers so it feels like the Holiday Inn of camping. Anyways, lots to update so I'm keeping them short.
