LionessesHere is a selection of images from January 16 and 17, representing our first full day at Masai Mara, Kenya’s greatest game park, as well as our journey from Lake Nakuru down to Nairobi en route to the Mara. We traveled by bus southward and the group dined at a fancy Nairobi restaurant, Carnivore, before flying in two little bush planes for 45 minutes to the Mara. I bet you can guess what Carnivore featured: meat, and more meat. Among the items, served on swords and carved at the table, was crocodile (I didn’t tell the crocs at the Mara that I had eaten one of their cousins). More images to come later.
