I went on a safari to Maasai Mara this past weekend. I got to see all the animals in their natural habitat and I got to see a kill. A leopard stalked through the tall grass and shot like a bullet into the middle of a herd and took down a gazelle. It was one of the most exciting things I've witnessed with my own eyes. The safari itself was amazing. It was like watching the Lion King in person. I also happened to stay at the most luxurious lodge in the Maasai Mara. I was tired of Third World living conditions so I decided to splurge. It was well worth it. 


This safari was probably the best trip experience of my life. The only thing that would have made it better was if I was with close friends. I went with a few of the students from my program but I don't know them that well. None of them wanted to kick back after the game drives and have a couple of beers. So I made new friends at the bar.


 I'll try to upload some pictures later but the internet is very unstable right now.
