Dianne, It is so wonderful that you were able to go on a safari and see the beautiful world and life God created! I was wondering if you were fortunate enough to see any rhinos on your excursions? We unfortunately did not get to see any while we were there.
Hope things are still going well at Maseno!

No, Andrea, we didn't. There are only 36 rhinos in all of the Mara, so perhaps that explains it. As our guide said, "It's a good reason to return someday!" Best to all of you!
