First Day in the Masai Mara
Started our day leaving camp at pre-dawn, capturing an amazing sunrise. We caught the usual animals but found out from the park rangers that a cheetah mother and cubs were nearby (photo below). The photo above is that of a female leopard they have named Akira, not to be confused with her sister Shakira Shakira . People come to Africa with the goal of seeing “The Big Five” animals, which historically were the most difficult to hunt. These include: Lions, Elephants, Cape Buffalo, Rhinos, and Leopards. Today we spotted our #5, completing our Safari goal! Our masterful guide Dickson had spotted an elk leg in a tree earlier in the day, apparently a snack being saved for later. We returned later to find the leopard retrieving the snack!
