A Massai warrior took us for a hike...

Arriving in Kenya a couple of days early, Floyd and I are on a safari in the Massai Mara, a national park and conservancy that’s in the middle of the savannah. Makes me feel at home — looks like the Great Plains. We were greeted by singing women who invited me to join the dance. Our tent is the size of my living room and has a shower and bathroom. I asked what keeps the lions away — the nearby canyon isn’t called Leopard Gorge for nothing. We were told the camp is guarded by Massai warriors, so I’ll sleep just fine. Our fearless guide took us on a rare walking safari. We were able to get relatively close to zebra, elon, wildebeest, giraffe, gazelles, and impala. We didn’t get close at all to the two hyenas we spotted. Back at camp, a lovely dinner fireside and early to bed. Up early for a day-long drive to find the migrating wildebeest. Stay tuned.
