-Day 1-

We rang in the new year in a unique way this year - on safari! We had my 3 of my high school friends visiting from the United States, and we have been saving up the best safari in Kenya for their visit - the Masai Mara!  The Masai Mara is the same ecosystem as the Seregenti located in Tanzania to the south, but in Kenya the park is called by a different - the Masai Mara. The park exceeded all of our expectations, and was a fantastic time!
