Amboseli to Maasai Mara

We said goodbye to Amboseli on Saturday. A parting shot on the drive out:

We drove to Nairobi’s local (not international) airport and caught a small plane to Maasai Mara. Two pilots, maximum capacity of 18, and landings on grass and dirt runways. We were the third stop.

We landed a bit after 4 and went on a safari drive until dinner. Highlights: we got up close to lions, and saw a black rhino. The guide said that rhino’s are very shy and he only finds them once every couple of weeks. The drive was capped by a beautiful sunset.
