Kenia: Masai Mara 9

 It was like ‘big cat diaries’ right before our eyes inclusive the sound of the lion’s teeth grinding against the bones of the unfortunate wildebeest while our cameras were clicking away.

Kenia: Masai Mara 8

 That really made the safari complete and so we drove back to camp very satisfied with a quick detour for some close ups of mister ‘king of the jungle’.

For Caro it was her first safari and with the exception of a rhino, she got to see almost all of the big animals around.  A nice way to get started with our Africa trip don’t you think.
