Safari: Masai Mara, part III


Why hello there..
and for my last post on the safari.. the final reason it was so brilliant.........
The animals were AMAZING!!
We did two safari tours- one in the afternoon/ eveneing, and one just after dawn. 

Again, it's impossible to describe the feeling of being SO close to the animals, so here's a sample of my favorite photos, hope you like em.  (and note: these photos are grouped by animal, not so much time)

approaching a gorgeous sunset on our evening safari

we encountered about 18 giraffe toward the end of our evening safari- we were cruising towards an acacia tree grove and they just started walking out of the trees, across a field and right into the sunset J
 



This is pretty much my favorite image from the safari, if not the entire trip.




 
 
Zebra are to the Masai Mara (and Kenyan countryside in general) what Seagulls are to the ocean- EVERYWHERE!


Do these stripes make me look fat?









Lounging



playing, then......

... posing for the cameras.









We had just entered the park, around 6:45 am, and were greeted by hot air balloons and a family of elephants.








The Lion King totally got it right- these guys totally prance!
These little guys were everywhere
