9th Edition of the Virtual Visit Series: Kenya
The animals of the Maasai Mara bookended by the Maasai people. The first photo is of the matriarch of a Maasai family and the final photo is of Nicholas, our safari guide, tossing a disc.
I was up close with a moose today and all giddy about it. In Kenya, that feeling was on steroids. .digest and I were like kids in a candy shop, completely overwhelmed by the excitement of being so close to animals we had only seen cartoon versions of in the Lion King. Our guides, Nicholas and Dickson made fun of us for being the most excitable people they had ever met. We were left wondering how anyone could react any other way to the constant parade of animals we were surrounded by every day.
