Basically, we saw a load of animals of all shapes and sizes that you'd expect to see in any african wildlife book. Everyone likes to see the 'big 5' on safari - Rhino, Elephant, Buffalo, Lion. Well I'll be...that's only 4. Those blinking leopards were just too canny for us so I got the big 4. The plains of the Masai Mara were pretty awesome, good to see landscapes that haven't been cut up by fences.
We camped next to a Masai village way out the back of nowhere. Apparently elephants had been a bit of a problem the night before we got there, so a masai stayed awake by our tents to guard us in case they came back. There was an option to stay in a masai hut, but the huts are made of cow dung and very dark inside - we didn't impose ourselves.
There's plenty more safari experience to offer, but my time is running short. Hakuna matata.
