“It’s really beautiful.
It feels
like God visits everywhere else,
but lives in Africa.”
-Will Smith
When I arrived in Nairobi
it felt so good to have a day to decompress in my hotel room, enjoying warm
showers, free wifi, a comfy bed, and just chilling out on the rooftop deck. After
meeting up with my safari group, our first stop was a visit to the Masai Mara.
We went on an all-day game drive, where we were fortunate to be able to witness
thousands of wildebeests during the annual "Great Migration," when
the wildebeests migrate from the Serengeti in Tanzania
up to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya . We also saw lions,
elephants, giraffes, zebras, water buffalo, a cheeta, and other animals.

In the afternoon we visited a Masaai village. They sang
traditional songs for us and performed dances, including their traditional competitive
jumping. We toured the village and visited their homes. I met a man wearing a
beautiful piece of fabric. When I told him I loved it, he offered to sell it to
me. I bought the clothes off his back! This trip through Kenya was the first of many great adventures
with my awesome new friends from Australia
