Our final day in the Mara came very quickly. As usual, we started it with a morning game drive. A gorgeous sunrise, a jackal, some Cape Buffalo, and a herd of female elephants with their babies greeted us.










After breakfast, we found the cutest hyenas I’ve ever seen. Baby hyenas might be the cutest animal on earth.









We went to the Tony Latham Predator Hub to learn how the Conservancy works to protect animals like the lion, cheetah, and leopard, while working with the Maasai people to make sure they are able to safely run their cattle, too.

After lunch we went to the Maa Trust to learn about the beading shop that employs Maasai women, giving them income of their own. We learned how hard beading by trying it! And we finished our visit by heading to the greenhouse, and learning about how they are working to save endangered plants and house on native knowledge of plant use uses. 

Although rainy, our last evening in the Maasai Mara was beautiful.
Our drive back to Nairobi was long, but not an interesting and we headed home with both Murphy’s stuffy‘s still in tow. It was a trip we will not soon forget.
