DAY 43: CHAMPAGNE AND HIPPOS


...early morning games drives are normally followed by a hearty breakfast in our lodge dining room, but we were told that there had been a change of plans and that breakfast would be served somewhere else...

..."Where?" I asked...
..."Somewhere else" was the response...

...a lodge driver picked us up at reception, drove down a long windy road through the bush where we were met by this Maasai who apparently thought Francois looked better in red...

...escorted us through the bush to this location... 

...where we were treated to a hot and cold buffet seated by the hippo pool...




...complete with entertainment...



...champagne...



...and really good Kenyan coffee...



...nice surprise...
