Days 5,6 & 7


Day 7 Masai Mara - Keekorock
2/15/09
Today was "Eating The Kill" Day, we saw 2 sets of lions & cheetahs eating their assorted kills. Plenty of cubs getting in on the dining action! Photographed many birds and a very colorful lizard. I also saw a "hanging in the tree kill" but still no leopard yet.Day 5 Drive to Masai Mara
Day 6 Masai Mara - Keekorock
2/14/09
Happy Valentines Day!Saw 7 male lions this morning, a cheetah mom and cubs and the largest herd of elephants I have ever seen migrating from Tanzania. We could see the hills of the Serengeti in the distance (only about 10km away)

Day 5 Drive to Masai Mara
2/13/09
Started with a game drive out of Lake Nakuru, saw rhino baby, baby baboons and many heyenas. Drove about 6 hours to Masai Mara wher we will spend the week in 2 locations. Thee Keekorock Lodge is great, beautiful rooms and a viewing catwalk that overlooks a hippo pool. They told us to be careful outside our rooms at night for that is when the hippos come out and eat.
