Safari thoughts from the coolest people in the group:

Hippo: Reading on the back porch of our Massai Mara paradis to the sound of grunting hippos in the distance. What a highlight. We had a family of hippos living in the river right behind the lodge. We also found one lost far from water on our safari drive. We really hope it survived the day. Mugasa: It appears he’s eaten every animal on Safari. Lions: Saw a pride of 16 today. Wow. (by Jeremy) We’ve actually seen the whole cast of the Lion King. Timon, Pumba (many Pumba’s) The wildebeests who killed Mufasa, Simba, Nala, Hyenas, Rafiki, and a Zazu impersonator. We didn’t see to many the grubs, but we are thankful for that. Elephants: Moses was an older elephant we named. He wandered behind a huge herd. We saw big grandpa Moses all the way to baby Dumbo. There were lots of elephants. Cheetah: There were 3 cheetah’s this morning fighting over an African Hare. We saw a variety of other animals as well. Helga, aka: Mama Safari, kept track of the list for us all. Two days at Simba Lodge in Massai Mara were a wonderful way to wrap our trip. We were able to visit and process the many wonderful experiences we’ve had over the past two weeks and enjoy spending time together as a group. Overall, a truly successful learning tour. We look forward to sharing more stories when we get home. Check here for pictures and hopefully video’s next week.
