September 20th and 21st Masa Mara National Park

This is actually the 23rd of September but for the last few nights we have had very poor internet speed which has meant I was unable to upload updates.

So over the next couple days we will catch you up with all our amazing experiences and photographs. It’s been an adventurous few days here in the Masa Mara including 12 of our group opted to take a hot air ballon ride. What a great way to start a day of safari’s.

Enjoy some of the photos from our last couple of days in Masa Mara, enjoy.
