Jambo!

{Swahili for Hello!}

Lunch and the swim in the infinity pool was great!

We set out at 4:00pm a scheduled. The game drive was good but we missed the Lions once again. We were told that the most recent rain has made all the vegetation grow (obviously) and that is why the sleeping lions are hard to spot. Hopefully tomorrow!

We stopped at a river and watched two Hippo's bath...the are so graceful. We seen a Jackle, and many Dick-Dicks....miniature Antelopes. They are the size of a cat. They were all over the place. They only come out in the late afternoon.

John stopped the truck in a vast open area where Lions typically hang out. We experienced our first Sun Downer! AKA, Drinks in the bush. Jas had Gin and Tonic and I had a good Tusker Beer! There were some munchies and John was telling us stories about the Masai Mara.

We are back in our cottage now to take a shower and go for dinner. Tonight we will go through all of the pics and select a few to post. I should be good to add to the blog tomorrow afternoon following our morning game drive.

Have a good evening (afternoon for you) and we'll catch up tomorrow!
