Safari Chronicles: Day 10 – Penultimate Day
Today once again after a restful night (still not sleeping past 0430) we headed out on an early game drive at 0630 to see what we can see and what magnificence lay ahead!! It was a wondrous game drive that awaited us…..after watching smaller animals that we dont always see including hyaena pups playing we crossed a few rivers and found the mother cheetah and her three offspring who were in playful mood!! What a delight to watch them jumping on Mum and then running about on the plains …at one point Mum looked like she would have liked to go and look for something to eat but her cubs were not to be left behind and they were also wanting her to play with them too!! After a while we left them and went on to see what else we could see and loo and behold a leopard in a tree …this one larger than the one we saw yesterday and truly spectacular ..we could hardly believe we were so fortunate to see a leopard two days in succession!!! truly wonderful!!! Well satisfied we headed back for breakfast. Then off we went again this time to visit a Maasai Village….this was a memorable experience listening to the singing and dancing and interacting with them. In the late afternoon we head off to the river and this time to see the mighty Mara River and its Hippos and Crocodiles…and we surely were not disappointed. It was a full and lovely day out in the bush
