While driving around the Masai Mara, we had an initial introduction to the animals in Kenya. We saw a cheetah, different species of antelopes, hyenas, and many lions that were sleeping in the bushes. We also passed by a site with leftover bones. It was hard to tell which animal was prey to the carnivores.
The sun was starting to set and Albert took us to the Mara River to see a group of hippopotamuses. Joumana screamed from excitement! She was so happy to see those huge round animals with small ears and big behinds. Albert explained how these animals were as dangerous as they were cute. A hippo’s mouth can open to 150 degrees and instantly crush a person that might be standing or swimming in his way. Nevertheless, Joumana’s excitement didn’t subside, and she talked all night about the hippo being her favourite animal!
