African Adventure

---

Well our journey in Africa begins...... The first day of our tour started with a long and very bumpy journey to the Masai Mara National Park. We travelled throught the Great Rift Valley and the scenery was spectacular! We went on our first game drive into the Masai Mara and were lucky enough to spot 3 of the "Big 5" - Elephant, Buffalo and Lions (which included a pride with three cubs!) We also saw zebra, gazelles, giraffes, warthogs and many more. Following this we went into a traditional Masai village to learn how the locals live. It was fascinating to learn that their stable diet consists of milk, blood and meat from cows! The men have many wifes and the going rate for a wife is ten cows - so my dad could have quite a few!

We are adjusting to camping and cold showers already (althought I've probably taken a little longer than Adam!). The local food has been good so far, apart from a questionable looking goat stew which I opted out of one lunch time!

Missing everyone at home but having a great time! xx
