masai mara

SAFARI!!!!! We woke up so early to drive seven hours to our safari destination, Masai Mara, which was unexpectedly terrible. Long story short, I discovered a long time ago that I get motion sickness while driving at high altitudes and doing sudoku at the same time. I also forgot this important piece of information while driving to Masai Mara. I quickly got motion sickness, and swallowed two Dramamine pills. The whole trip to Masai Mara was terrible, but the Dramamine knocked me out good. We started our safari as soon as we got there. We saw elephant, giraffe, impala, hatabeast, zebra, and so much more! It was an amazing site! We headed to our campsite, Mara Springs, to get situated in our tents which were AMAZING! We had a shower and bathroom and toilet AND sink inside our tent. I thought we were going to ruffing it, but we weren't. We were living with the indigenous people, Masai, and there was an awesome chef that cooked our food which was SO GOOD. Everything after the ride was awesome. Then came the creepy parts of our camping experience. We were warned about baboons, hyenas, and other small animals that could potentially ransack our tents. We were scared because we heard weird noises. It was weird but cool. It's late now and the lights just went out.
