Yesterday we agreed to start at 6:15am. For this we had to get up at 5:30am. The room stewart served coffee and some small bites on the veranda. Nice to sit outside and have a coffee in the darkness…

We are leaving the camp but it is still dark. However, within 1/2 hour the early light gets through.

Close to the crossing of the Olare Orok river a Hippo carcass is serving some breakfast for the Mara gourmets.

The spotted hyena wasn’t amused…

The drive continues through the Mara passing herds of Topis, Zebras, Buffalos and – of course – Wildebeests.

Small cocktail

 

After 3h driving through the area breakfast is taken at the Mara river. But before we get there, others also are having some breakfast.

Breakfast time

 

After breakfast we are moving to a nice spot with some Giraffes.
