Masai Mara Kenya Africa

Everyone should do this sometime in their life. It was amazing! The camp was beautiful and the people were warm and kind and welcoming. We made friends with a Masai man who called himself Joseph, though his Masai name was Oleshargegilololtoriroi, meaning son of the man with a long bladed spear. He was amazing and dressed in his traditional Masai garb. He told us stories of his village and family and way of life. He actually met some campers and became friends with them a few years back and he now goes to Bangor, Maine every few years in the summer. He visits them at their lake camp. Hahaha! Maybe I'll catch up with him this summer, when I'm home.

We saw everything you can imagine. Even the Rhino and Leopard...which is a rarity. I went with 2 best friends here at Kaust and it was the most amazing thing I've ever done by far! I wish I was still there. We had Baboons in the front yard of our tent. We heard no sounds except for animals and the wind....
