Africa! Day 2 3/19/12

Day 2:

Woke up around 5:30 am. Took the coldest shower in Africa. It was probably 50 degree F when I got up. Today we're going on a game drive through the Masai Mara games reserve.

So far we've seen:
Water Buffalo
Ox Peckers
Topi
Hartabeasts
Thomson Gazelles
Lilac-breasted Roller
African elephants
Secretary Bird
Warthog
Zebra
Hippos
Jackal
Ostridge
Giraffe
Lions
White headed vultures
Cheetahs
Dik Dik
Eland Antelope
Crocodile
Baboon

Incredible day. Perfect weather and saw a ton of animals. Learned that the Serengeti is 8x larger than the Masai Mara. Also that if a baby elephant can walk underneath the Mothers stomach it is less than a year old.
