Day ? - Nairobi, Kenya

So we've lost all track of time, but we're having a blast.  Just back into Nairobi for the night after 2 nights & 3 days camping in the Masai Mara Game Reserve . . . yes I said camping in tents with no fences to stop the wild animals from wondering through the camp site - it was awesome!  It was also CRAZY HOT, 40C as we walked along the Mara River yesterday to see the hippos and crocs, who were enjoying the cool water.  Poor Sara looked like she was going to melt when she got back from this walk, but she also had a huge smile on her face cause she'd been up close with an elephant, lion with clubs, giraffe, water buffalo, tortoise, gazelle, and even saw a lioness get it's dinner (something apparently rarely seen even for those who do these drives on regular basises).  She went on 3 game drives, one in the evening to see sunset, one all day long, and one early morning to see the sunrise. 

Camping in Nairobi tonight before heading to Arusha, Tanzania a rather LONG drive on a BAD road, which is being replaced, but at the moment is mostly gravel.

  1. Just commented on FB that Arusha is Tanzania's rugby home. Mt. Meru is a beautiful mountain. Saw views at sunset. Glad you're having a great time. Had 5 women over for dinner tonight. We had bison meatloaf and it was great. Also Moosewood's lemon pudding cake with chocolate sauce and real whipped cream. Take care, dear. Love, Mommio
