Visit to Kenya, May 2006
Masai Mara game park.
(See related presentations about Nairobi and
Machakos and UCAD in Senegal.)
Our guides stayed with us
To the game park at Massai
Mara
On the border with Tanzania
connecting with the Serengetti
Crossing the Rift Valley to reach
Massai Mara
Rift valley stretches up to Egypt
Lunch overlooking the rift valley
on the way to the game park
The roads are terrible: broken axel
Busy town on the way
Not yet in the park
Lots of grass for grazing
Bulls are solitary
Lots of elephants
They continue to grow
Junior tells us to back off
There’s big sky
The lion king
Safe viewing in the van
And queens
Fast animals
And fast food
Safety in numbers
Where are my friends?
A walk by the river
Hippos soak by day, graze by night
Dangerous company
The Massai are shepherds
The men dress pretty
The women stay in the bouma
Back to the tent camp
To pick sausages from the tree
Hate to leave this place
The Mara Sarova Lodge
