2014 July 31 - Day 9-Boat ride to see hippos, Box lunch, Maasai Mara Game Drive, Sarova Mara Camp

Today, we stopped at Lake Naivasha, the highest lake in the Rift Valley. There, we took a one-hour boat ride to see hippos and birds. While walking from our van to the lake, we walked among the Maasai Giraffes who freely roam the area.

After viewing the hippos, we ate our box lunches at a roadside gift shop, then we did a game drive on the Maasai Mara National Reserve.

After checking in at the Sarova Mara Camp, we signed up for the next morning's hot air balloon flight. We have to leave the camp at 5:00 in the morning, so we're hitting the sack.
