Headed off for an exciting week living amongst local predators in the Maasai Mara area in western Kenya – part of the same region known as the Serengeti in neighboring Tanzania. I stayed in the Naboisho Conservancy in a beautiful camp overlooking plenty of wildlife.
I almost didn’t make it to the airport for my flight there due to the horrendous Nairobi traffic, but with minutes to spare I was boarding my tiny plane. A propeller driven plane, it only had 12 seats and 3 passengers. In order to get to my camp, we were required to make four hops to other deserted airstrips along the way. The runways were all dirt with the exception of the first being just grass.

I eventually arrived at my final destination only to be greeted by my safari guide. As he drove me to the camp via a very bumpy game drive he pointed out many giraffes, zebras, and other animals. After settling in for the afternoon, we headed out for an evening game drive that found us a female lioness, which we stalked for about a hour. She was believed to be nursing offspring nearby.
