After spending a night in Nairobi, we set off for the Basecamp Explorer in the Maasai Mara Reserve where we are going to be spending 6 days. The journey is about 260km but takes about 5 to 6 hours.  We will make a few stops on the way to see East African Rift which is well over 10,000 km long and in places 120km wide. The EAR transects through Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique.
