To Masai Mara

The one road to Masai Mara has got to be the WORST road in the world. There are potholes and bumps everywhere. Our drivers Noor and Paris have got to be nuts to do this for a living! This drive is not for the faint-of-heart; besides the bumps that punctuate the whole of the trip (approximately 4 hours), you are virtually at the mercy of diesel fumes from a number of commercial trucks/vehicles and dust clouds. When we finally arrived at Sopa Lodge, they gave us some wet face towels that were almost black after being used (at least on me)!

The highlight for me was when we were just outside of Masai Mara - we came upon 5-6 giraffes on the plain. We drove over to see them and not one of them ran way. . . it seemed like they were equally curious about us. We snapped some pictures and continued on . . .
