On the road to Masai Mara

---

Hi there!

I'm back, to share the adventure of the long drive to Masai Mara!

It was rather interesting. It gave us time in the van to get to know each other a bit better. We had a "shopping" stop along the way, at a gift shop. One of the vans had a flat tire, so everyone stopped to help (we had a convoy of about 20 vans, I believe). We stopped for snacks, had some rain, had a snooze here and there........it was all good!

Along the way, we drove by the Rift Valley. This is a major geological phenomenon here in Africa. Look it up for more information.

So much to see.........it still seems surreal to be here, in Africa! Wow, am I a lucky person!

Enjoy the pictures,

Happy Pat

On the road to Masai Mara
In the caravan, with Daniel our driver.

Me and Elviera
Elviera, our tour guide, and I hopped in the van also! So, it was the 2 of us along with "the sisters", Anne and Tina.

How many men does it take to change a flat tire?
I couldn't resist .........but everyone was very helpful. (it wasn't our van!)

Where some people live
Different lifestyle!

Pay attention when you drive
Cows are everywhere...

Driving down the road......
Pretty bumpy, to say the least!

Growing tea....
There is some agriculture here

A little shopping along the way.....
If you look closely, you will see Gail in among the items.

Passing by a school
The children do go to school; half days are typical, and not everyone has the privilege of attending.

Some local traffic
Once again, as in India, you see anything and everything on the roads

The Rift Valley
There is poverty in the area, but there are also TVs!

Some school girls
They really don't like (nor appreciate) having their picture taken.

The Rift Valley
Such a beautiful valley

Fixing the roads
These are volunteers who typically fix the ruts in the roads

It was a bumpy ride
I have never seen such large ruts, potholes, etc.

A little bird in the sky.......NOT
Check these guys out!

More traffic.....
It's a busy road

Now we're starting to see........
Baboons!

A woman and child
People are walking everywhere....

A blooming cactus
Beautiful, and very large
