On safari in the Maasai Mara



On safari again at last!  I met our guests at the Palacina Hotel this morning and we flew straight to the Maasai Mara.  On arrival we were met by these three cheetah brothers who were fast asleep under a lone tree on the side of Emarti Hill.  They were looking really healthy but thin enough to be thinking about an evening hunt!  


 

We then found this lovely old bull elephant who was browsing his way through young accacias as he slowly made his way up the hill.  He came within 10 feet of the car to get a closer look at us.

 

The Egyptian geese were very vocal about our arrival close to their brood of goslings but they calmed down after a while.  All this in our first two hours of arrival in the Mara!  What a great start to our safari!
