Safari - The Big Five

I believe the safari in the Maasai Mara was our reward for our hard work in Maua and Chuka. Our first two game drives were beyond phenominal. We saw the 'Big Five' in those first two drives. Some, including our team members, go on safari for years - decades - and don't whitness the Big Five! How great is our God?!



We watched two male lions, very close to the vans. One walked by to drink water from the river, then walked right in front of our vans. The next day, we saw a pride of female lions with a lion cub.

Cape Buffalo - We saw one from a distance on our first drive, then came across a herd of about a dozen, then a loan old buffalo, on our last drive.

Elephants - We saw hundreds - from a distance and up close.

A Rhino...under a rainbow...

A leopard resting in a tree. He looked like a stuffed animal, thrown up there. And he was gone about five minutes after we drove away.
