[Uganda] Day 17: Finally reaching Kenya & the Masai Mara

Our day started nice and early with a 3:50am flight, meaning we got to jump on a bus at 10pm the night before for a lovely 3 hour trek.

Once we got to the airport we lined up for our bags to be sniffed for any smugglings and only a few had to open up their baggage but all were successful in the end.

The plane ride was a quick 50 minutes with a continental breakfast consisting of one singular croissant that only a few were lucky to get.

Customs were nice and quick and we walked all around the airport a few times to get some breakfast before the long 6 hour drive to our accomodation.

After two hours of driving we stopped and looked at a beautiful view over a cliff face and got to enjoy toilets that didn’t flush.

Around 12:00 we stopped for lunch and had a buffet of a range of foods and then got to walk through a few small souvenir shops.

Back on the road again it took another two hours to get to the gates of where the game rides began. We got to see a range of animals and Kaitie mistook quite a few of them for rocks.

We got to our accomodation and got to relax before a lovely meal, a short debrief upon what we have experienced during our trip and the ever burdening wait for our ATARs to come out at 11 pm.
