The @angamasafari jeep has everything including a bush toilet kit 🙂
This is how i suggest you do it – go behind your jeep rather than going to the bush or else something might pop out of the bush :):) #masaimara #h2htraveltips #h2hsafari#a2asafaris #angamamara

Day 2 Game drive 730am at the Masai Mara – I heard that in some reserves it is hard to spot animals, but not in the Masai Mara. There are many all over. One of the 7 Wonders of the World is the Great migration in the Masai Mara which happens from July to November. It’s a pity we did not see it. A good reason to come back to the Masai 🙂 #masaimara #thegreatmigration #natgeo#safarilive #h2hsafari #a2asafaris 
our first sighting was incredible :):) 
Watch out for the pregnant mommy. I wish we could go down for a photo but giraffes will kick #masaimara#giraffe #kenya #h2hsafari #a2asafaris#h2hanimals
We saw 2 tortoise on the road. Our guide Wilson was a ranger so he knows and can spot animals right away. He said Leopard tortoise -dad has 4 of them. I wish we could take them home but there are rangers watching haha!! They protect the Masai which is good 🙂 #masaimara #kenya#tortoise #h2hsafari #h2hanimals#a2asafaris
My attempt to use the binoculars to zoom in the animal and take a photo with my iphone It is a skill :):) Plus you have to have good binoculars #h2hphotography #h2hsafari #a2asafaris#giraffe #h2hanimals #masaimara

Bumping into the Nat Geo team that goes around the Mara everyday to get footage for their show
The trees in the Masai Mara are shaped like these because the giraffes eat them and can only reach a certain height so the top is left 🙂

When you look out to the Masai Mara it looks like there is nothing but trees. But if you use your binoculars or through a telescope, you will see animals all over the place. So sad to be leaving this beautiful place. I hope to come back to witness the great migration and this scenenery will change and you will see millions of animals especially the Wildbeests that will eat the grass here and cross the Masai river and move on to their next destination ?? Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the most popular tourism destinations in Kenya- Africa. The reserve is located in the Great Rift Valley in primarily open grassland.
Wildlife tends to be most concentrated on the reserve’s western escarpment.
The Masai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest’s migration alone involves over 1.5 million animals arriving in July and departing in November.
There have been some 95 species of mammals, amphibians and reptiles and over 400 birds species recorded on the reserve.
Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is for this reason a visitor hardly misses to see the big five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino).( magicalkenya.com ) #masaimara #kenya #h2hsafari #a2asafaris #
Love the Butlers Tray
As much as possible, I want to try the food of the country we are in so i tried the Swahili omelette 🙂 #h2hdiningvenues#h2hbreakfast #h2hsafari #a2asafaris

New breakfast options at Starbucks is your new wake-up call
Starbucks Philippines is introducing new breakfast options using flavorful ingredients and craveable combinations that pair perfectly with your favorite coffee. The new breakfast menu is a worthy reason to hop out of bed and visit your nearest Starbucks store.
The Sous Vide Egg White with Couscous and Quinoa is simple yet wonderful. Eggs are prepared using the French “sous vide” technique resulting in a velvety texture and a myriad of flavors. Mixed couscous, vegetables and quinoa served on the side bring the extra boost to fuel your day.
Another smart choice is the protein-rich Spinach Mushroom Frittata. Egg whites, spinach, mushroom, and cheese are brought together for a tasty start to any morning.
The Fruit and Nut Toast is a coffeehouse classic baked with whole grain, sweet dried berries, apple, orange peel and flavorful nuts. It’s a breakfast staple that tastes even better with a dollop of butter and jam.
A refreshing breakfast choice, the Berry Chia Overnight Oats is packed with fiber, vitamins and nutrients. Dig into your day with a unique mix of berries, almond, pistachio, chia seeds, rolled oats, whole milk and Greek yogurt.
Downtime in the camp is after lunch when it gets hot and before your next game drive at 4pm. Best time to take a bath is in the afternoon so its not cold. Tub time facing the Masai Mara
They have a gym and pool both facing the Masai Mara. I could stare at it all day ??
Masai women teaching beadwork. Super love all the African beaded products #masaimara #kenya#angamamara #h2hartisan #h2hsafari#a2asafaris
Another downtime activity – There’s a library in @angamasafari where you can read a book, watch movies or work 🙂
