Our home in Kenya was only two hours away from the incredibly gorgeous Maasai Mara National Reserve. We had the opportunity to make the (incredibly bumpy) trek there a few times in our first year. It’s a really fun place to take friends when they visit, and the kids never grow tired of seeing the animals. I’d describe it like stepping into The Lion King. We may not have ever spotted Pride Rock, but we did see plenty Simba’s friends! I have so many photos from our last two visits in May and June that I’ve split them into different groups for posting. Today, I present to you the twiga, Swahili for giraffe.
These animals are truly spectacular to see in their own setting.
At one point, we spotted this baby with her mama. I hadn’t seen a grown giraffe lie down like this before.
Beautiful creatures! Tomorrow I’ll have more photos to share from our safari adventures, so be sure to check back for those!
