We return to the Masai Mara

With the excitement of the fire at JKIA in Nairobi, we've been sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for confirmation that all is well in Kenya. Thank goodness we have been given the 'go ahead' to travel and arrive in Kenya next Saturday morning, have breakfast and then fly into the Mara, Kichwa Tembo and meet our friends.

I love photographers. You never quite know what they view from their cameras, each one seeing something just a little different. So I know that I in turn will experience something new each time we go out.

Every year we visit is as if it is the very first time. Rather like Jung who went on safari in the early 1900's we find a new world.

And of course, a crossing

From the Mara, we fly into Rwanda to explore the land of a thousand hills and hopefully discover a gorilla family or two. 

This is how Jung experienced the Masai Mara: “Grazing, heads nodding, the herds moved forward like slow rivers. This was the stillness of the eternal beginning, the world as it had always been, in the state of non-being; for until then no one had been present to know that it was this world… here I was now, the first human being to recognize that this was the world.
