Maasai Mara

I spent my first night in Nairobi at the house of Alex, the owner of All Seasons Safaris.

At 6:30 a.m., I was fetched by Peter, a Bill Cosby lookalike, who would be my driver-guide for the entire safari.

Inspite of our early start, it tooks us two hours to navigate through Nairobi's notorious traffic, before hitting A104, the main highway on the way to Maasai Mara.
