Several weeks ago, we enjoyed a 2 day trip to the Masai Mara - this was our third safari and we loved seeing this wonderful expanse of God's creation again!!!

| We were able to get very close to many of the animals. |

 |
| The cape horn buffalo has an aggressive nature and is very dangerous. |
 |
| We were fortunate to catch a glimpse of a hippo!! |
 |
| 3 jackal brothers enjoying a lunch of fresh-caught baby impala. |
 |
| There are only a few black rhino left. They roam in an area that is patrolled 24/7 by guards to keep poachers away. |
 |
| We were amazed at how close we were able to get to the rhino!!!! |
 |
Our eagle-eyed safari driver/guide was an animal magnet!
|
 |
| We had to get out of the Land Cruiser when we had a flat - thankfully, no nearby animals were hungry! |

| Dave, Susie, Marilyn and Greg Hondorp, and Rachel, an Obstetrics resident from Virginia. |
The scariest moment of the trip was not in the park with the animals but on the ride back to Tenwek. A large truck had gotten stuck on a road that was partially washed out. Our driver surveyed the situation, motioned the people to get out of the way and said "let's dance!!". He then gunned the engine of the 4-wheel van and went to the left side where all of the people were trying to fill in dirt and stones. We made it!!!!!! (Praise God!!!)
