Massai Mara - Friday 15th Jan

Friday 15th Jan

Another day in the game park trying to look for a pride of lions and rhino's which were the only 2 out of the big 5 we were looking for . Unfortunately we didn't spot any however saw lots of other animals 

Jan and Amanda left us to our own devices mid morning so spent a couple of hours driving around before heading back to camp for lunch and a couple of hours downtime.

On the way home we went past a very nice camp ground called Fig Trees so decided to head there in the afternoon for a couple of beers.

Joey had read about their tree top bar so enjoyed a couple of nice Tusker beers overlooking the Massai plains which can be accessed by parking in the game park and walking across the rope bridge

After a couple of beers we ventured back across the bridge with Joey  waiting at the gates whilst I got back to  the car to ensue there are no lions on the way( you are not allowed out of the cars whilst you are in the park). Safe to say no super payout for her yet!

Our Massai warrior had arranged for them to do a Massai dance tonight so we enjoyed a few drinks and snacks prepared by Amanda pre the dance .Jean Marc who was our camp ground guard came around to make sure we were prepared for the evenings entrainment .

To get us ready for the event he first make a call to get his partner ready

Jean Marc got Jan involved with their jumping ritual and as you can see I think the Tusker beer helped him out get that extra metre 

Just before dusk they both arrived to show case their marvoulous dancing skills and got all the squad involved in their dancing and jumping

After the entrainment we had dinner and relaxed around the fire before retiring to bed.
