Safari Tomorrow

I don’t really have all that much to add today. I spent the day going around Kibera again with Ken and Joshua, talking with a number of different people about data. The past couple days have been pretty uneventful overall. I needed to recover after spending so much time in Kibera on Saturday and Sunday, so I spent most of this past week just processing the information that I’ve gathered. We also booked a Safari and we are leaving tomorrow.

We are going for a 2 night safari in the Masai Mara, one of the world’s most famous game reserves. The Masai Mara is the northern portion of the Serengeti National Park located in Tanzania. It is the home of lions, cheetahs, giraffe, zebra, hippos, and really pretty much any animal that you can think of when picturing the Lion King (which we watched last night).

We are being picked up at 9am or so tomorrow morning for the 5 hour drive to the park from Nairobi. In the afternoon we are going on our first game drive, then returning to Rhino Camp at night. We are going to be sleeping in Tents, though they have roofs, and the whole area is in the enclosed campsite (so we are not in danger of being eaten). All day Saturday we have another game drive, and Sunday morning we have a final one as we are leaving the park.

I will be sure to write all about it when I get back, and I will try to get some good pictures online.
