We left the Serengeti at zero dark thirty, upon the guidance of our safari guide Edwin, as we had four long hours on rough washboard dirt roads followed by a border crossing out of Tanzania and back into Kenya, a 30 minute bus ride to the airport, a bush flight to the Masai Mara airstrip where we’d be met by our new drivers in Land Cruisers, and then a late afternoon game drive on the way to the safari tent lodge.

A long day indeed but oh so interesting….

Rewarded with early morning light:
