Back from safari

The safari was awesome!Awesome except for the 28 hours of cramped bumpy road travel to and from the Maasai Mara. I got to see a herd of wild elephants which was at the top of my list. I also saw lions eating zebra, zebra (avoiding lions) cheetahs, wildebeest, smelly, charging human hating hippos, wild dogs and mischievous baboons.
We also met the Maasai people, had a tour of their houses and had a brief jumping competition/dance with them. They live in cow pat houses and drink cow blood, they are a really amazing people! The best aspect of their lives seemed to me their closeness to nature and their impressive athleticism, ingenuity and hunting skills. I'll never forget their hospitality and good will. I'm really glad I went, had a great time!
