Animals in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya, Africa

Kenya (112)
Travel to Kenya with a Los Angeles man who fulfills a years-long dream to explore the African nation. After a variety of problems forces his friends to cancel, he makes the journey alone.

Once he arrives, he is treated to sightings of beautiful wild beasts as he explores the game-rich Maasai Mara Reserve and rests at the luxurious Olonana Camp. He treks on foot to view elephants, takes a fishing trip to Lake Victoria, tours a nearby Maasai village, and takes an extraordinary hot air balloon ride.
