Day 9 and 10

Day 9
It was off to Keekorok Lodge and Safari.

Much needed rest was on its way.



We started the day in a small airplane that took us on our half hour flight to the Mara. It flew low enough for us to see animals as we flew!!


We found Keekorok to be a Wonderful place to stay.
Some in the group compared it to winning award on Survivor!!



Our first Safari was not for a couple of hours so we settled in. Some went for walks on the wonderful grounds, some read and other napped.
But no matter what you were doing we all felt the 2 earthquakes that hit!! They were not big ones but enough to shake us all up. We would feel two more before we left. Earthquakes are not common at all in The Mara.





Safari was fun for all. We saw many animals.
















You can really see God's hand out on the Mara.

Day 10

We started the morning off with a Safari to the Mara River.

Here we got out and walked along a river filled with Hippos and Crocks.



We then got to walk the Savanna with a Giraffe. It was amazing.

Then it was off to the Kenya Tanzania Boarder. The boarder was only marked by a tall stone with a line down the middle.

That afternoon a few of us went to the near by Masai Village. It was a special treat to see how this tribe lives. We even got to participate in some of their dances....
















These days were full of rest and fun.

Days 11 and 12 coming... our last days....
