March 7th, 2006,
Day 61 of our cruise of 105
First of 2 sea days
We have left Kenya and are heading to the Seychelles Islands
The safari was exhausting, thrilling, enriching; a good opportunity to compare a game reserve (in white South Africa) and the great outdoors of the wilds of Africa (we were on a Maasai preserve with no fences to keep the animals from migrating in the interior of black Kenya). Granny, see excursion Maasai Mara page 27 of the excursion book.
We slept in a good strong tent with an armed guard; 3 sides of our Mara Safari Club were bordered by the Mara River, the other side by an electric fence. One of the pictures shows our own baby hippo with family on the bank of the Mara River in front of our tent.
We were brought to a Maasai village where the people danced for us, invited us into their mud and dung huts and sold us their crafts.
The safari ride was exhilarating as the rains have come early and the four wheel drive, 14 year old Land Rovers with pop out roof were skidding in and out of deep black muddy ruts
and gushing river beds.
I repeat we are exhausted.
Thank you B & Joc for the updates
Hello my children, hello granny.
Ttys, love to all
