Warthhogs, elephants, zebra, topi, masai giraffe, thomson's gazelles, cape buffalos, geckos, harte beestes, wildebeeste, lions, hyenas, jackals, ostriches .... all these and more we have seen in the "Manhattan of Wildlife" -- Kenya's Masai Mara National Park. We arrived safely after a four-hour drive from nairobi yesterday to an amazing buffet lunch, followed by swimming or sunbathing at the swimming pool of the Mara Sopa Lodge. The views are stunning, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is zen!!!
This morning 9 members of our group woke up at 4.30 am and loaded up a van at 5.15 am to go on a dawn balloon safari ride followed by a wonderful breakfast out in the plains with the wide endless African sky as the ceiling above us.
Pictures coming. Everyone is in good shape! Heading out to a long game drive now and a picnic lunch. We want to see the Mara Rive abutting the Serengeti, and if we are lucky, get a chance to see the great wildebeeste migration across the river.

What a marvelous report on the Masai Mara National Park! Seeing the top to the bottom of the food chain--plus swimming, balloon rides, and dining under an "endless African sky" is a weekend no one will forget. Also, many thanks for the "everyone in great shape" report. With great appreciation, t.earnhardt
