Day Five
This morning we were up for hard boiled eggs on toast at half 6 before we were on our way by 7am.
A beautiful drive through the Kenyan countryside and towns en route before a quick stop in the town of Narok to stock up on supplies for our time in the world-famous Masai Mara.
One very bumpy road later we arrived at a Maasai village where the warriors sang for us, performed their traditional jumping dance (with a few mzungu helpers) before showing us around their homes and providing us with details about their way of life. After the visit and a quick lunch we were just ten more minutes on the road until reaching the gate of the Mara!
What an INCREDIBLE game drive we had today! Spotting all of the big 5 – elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard and lion (and male and female getting jiggy which was a great source of entertainment!). We also saw hyena, a secretary bird and cheetah – no one could believe our good fortune!!
As the sun began to set we headed to our camp for the next two nights, sleeping alongside the Talek River to the sounds of hippo splashing and bush babies in the trees above.
A dinner of chicken, tomato sauce, rice and mixed vegetables around a roaring bonfire before an early night ready for a full day in the Mara tomorrow – excitement all round to 
see what could possibly be next!!
Thanks to Meike for many of our pictures in this blog.
