This will be part 1 of my time at the Maasai Mara National park. Visited with the local villagers and saw so many animals. All so close just roaming around.

Not all are in this entry but say all of these here: lion, elephant, cheetah, wildebeest, warthog, meercat, giraffe, zebra, gazelles, elands, jackal, hyena, waterbuck, buffalo, rhino, hippo, many birds - lilac breasted roller, secretary bird, ostrich, black headed heron

So much more to come... sorry i am lazy :)
