June 27th

Today the group woke up at 8:00 AM at the Maasai Lodge. We ate a delicious breakfast and then loaded up the cars and drove five hours to Maasai Mara for our three day Safari. On our drive, we stopped at a little gift shop to eat lunch and do some shopping. The group members that wanted to purchase something learned how to properly bargain a fair price for their knick-knacks. After a long drive, we finally arrived at Maasai Mara and took our first short Safari. The group was very excited to see our first zebras, wildebeests, and other common animals, but we had no idea what we had in store for the next two days. After our short intro Safari, we arrived at our campsite where we were happily greeted by Alex and the Maasai warriors. We had a fabulous dinner prepared by Alex and the warriors. Then we sat by the campfire to have our “ANCHOR” talk (Appreciation, News, Concerns, Hopes, Obscure Fact, and Reading) lead by Caroline and Ethan. We discussed our plans for the next day. Once we heard what time we would be waking up, 6:00 AM, we all decided that it would be a good idea to go to sleep.
