Once again they are camping this time with Mara Porini Camp. Can you just imagine the sounds at night? That you can't leave your tent without letting the guard outside, with rifle, chaperone you to the dining tent for meals after dark?
I'm sharing a video of where they are that I found on youtube just to give a taste of what they are experiencing. I'm welling up with joy and weepy eyes at what my son is receiving of this trip. How can you come away without an impact of the contrast of living in a California suburb and seeing a Masai village or teens his own age? With so many teens jumping through hoops to do a community service project they don't believe in, I will always feel the benefit of traveling to places far reaching can build within you over time, how you view your prospective of the world around you.
Again I am in awe of their time. I don't think it hit me till this week of what and where they were. And now...well, now I'm just bursting with curiosity and wonder.

Selenkay Conservancy / Mara Game Reserve
Enter the traditional homelands of the Masai people as you depart to the wildlife plains of the Mara. View game en route to your lodge deep within the reserve, near hippo pools. Thousands of wildebeest cross the Mara River in this area during their annual migration. Game viewing throughout the year on the Mara is excellent. Settle in for sundowners, cultural entertainment, and splendid views from your private veranda.

Masai Mara Game Reserve
Your game drives today explore the teeming habitats of the Mara. Scout for rhino in the thorn thickets, giraffe and elephant in the riverine woodlands, and masses of buffalo, wildebeest, and antelope on the savannas. Keep an eye open for cheetah, leopard, and the reserve’s noted lion prides up to 20 strong.
