Kenya - Maasi Mara 2 (Aug '12)

The border between Kenya and Tanzania, and yes, I did enter Tanzania illegally without a visa.  I am a rebel!

Hippos sunning themselves by the river

This was the largest group of giraffe we saw, and there were more out of the picture too.

The big cats were all very well fed what with all the wilderbeest everywhere

And so were the vultures and other scavanger-ing type birds

We got bogged

Proof I was really there

It was so special to see this young elephant stop with his mum for a drink

More hippos

Warthogs on the run

If you look closely, you will see four baby cheetah cubs with their mum in this shot.  This was the highlight of my safari - so priviledged!!!
