Maasai Mara!

The day we spent at Maasai Mara was, with hands down, the most fantastic nature experience I’ve had all my life. It even beat the botanic gardens in Bulgaria. It was awesome!

There was great savannas and big forests. Big plains with trees spread around in the tall, dry grass. Lions lazed in the shadows, and the tourist cart took us within thirty meters or so. They were so cute! A big pride, with five females, a male, and around ten small cubs running around playing. I was mesmerized with the beautiful sight.

We saw zebras, antelopes, hippos, giraffes and hoards of different birds! I even spotted a leopard!

The nature itself was beautiful, like brung right out of “The Lion King”, just look at this! Ah! And just if you didn’t know, the crew that made “The Lion King” actually went to Maasai Mara for inspiration!

The day passed like no other! That evening, when we were at the hotel, we were all so amazed, nothing could bring our mood down. Dad was in his “happy mood”, making him the one of us making the most jokes.

The next day, we would pack and leave again. To Mombasa this time. On the news the day before there had been some talk about the trash in the streets of Mombasa being a growing problem. I was uneasy. I didn’t really look forward to going to a place filled with filth and trash. That’s why we have Norway after all…
