A first few impressions from the road on our first am to sleep in! I’m on an incredible journey with @ftlotravel in Kenya. Little notes for now on each pic. Horizontal first because the landscape here is so wide.

Hey Gina! @ginampisacreta

We saw a number of large family groups of elephants these past few days and they have been such a highlight.

Cheetah resting after a kill.

Mara river (with hippos and crocs nearby- will get to that!)

Along with wildebeest (have them will get up soon) the most common sight here has been zebras (pronounced zeh-brahs by anyone from the continent I think).

At the border with Tanzania (pronounced tahn-zah-knee-ah locally) inside the Masai Mara park with the group.

All the babies are so sweet to see- these are the olive baboons we have seen a lot (I think).

Hey Jenny! @pbnjenny

An early highlight of the trip was a stop at a stunning, local matriarch focused tea farm en route to the Masai Mara- more to come on this!

Tea farm just outside Nairobi. The weather is cooler and more rainy in the city. At elevation in both these areas though so nights are cool.

A first few impressions from the road- in Kenya with @ftlotravel on an extraordinary journey. Our first am to sleep in! Excuse the smudge on my Ricoh sensor! Will be needing to clean that when I get home. Masai colors from the car window- lots more Masai coming soon.
