i wish i knew how to post videos on here from my ipad.

the runways are all dirt/grass as you can see which is obviously bumpy as fuck. the runway we took off from was a straight drop off cliff, so if you look ahead of the plane you see nothing but sky and horizon. we took off and then looked down and it was basically flying off a mountain. i had no idea what the pilot was talking about but when we took off i nearly shit myself. i did get it on video tho.

That looks and sounds awesome. I am guessing that the lions are used to humans, otherwise I would worry about them jumping off a rock and mauling me.

No shit, I saw that pic and welp, there goes my idea of sleeping in trees to avoid lions if I was ever in that situation.

Richie Valens kicks ass too

i wouldn't say they are 'used to humans'. just that they aren't going to attack you unless you present a danger to their cubs, they feel threatened or they are starving.

at one point we were taking pics on one side of the truck, i went to the other side of the truck to look at the pics and was sitting up on the ledge, i heard a rustle, turned around and there was a lion just sleeping 5 feet below me that i had no idea was there... easily could have ripped me off the truck and mauled me if he wanted too.

we were out in the middle of nowhere, not like we were in a zoo... most days we didn't see another truck other than ours. its so big and you go offroad and shit. the size of the plains isn't really fathomable. it'd be like being in a place the size of a pretty large state with nothing other than flatlands and animals and just driving. thats why having a good guide/tour company is so important. they know where to do go to find watering holes and shit like that to find the best /most animals.

we had our IPad to take videos and they sang us a song and we recorded it... then we playd it for them. they were in awe that they could see themeselves/listen to themselves.

those people are Maasai... they live off of a diet consisting of mostly milk and blood, they use those sticks to defend themselves from anything from snakes to lions but only kill to defend, never for food. they are nomadic and basically have nothing other than their cows... 10 cows = 1 wife.

crazy experience and probably my favorite part of the trip.

if i could get a video of me with the Maasai posted, you'd change your opinion.

you can't really comprehend these people without listening/seeing them. pics do no justice.

By no means am I trying to be an a-hole here lol, but haven't they seen tourists come by for years and years now that would have had similar devices?

Or maybe it's that they've seen it before, but obviously the technology is still something they can't grasp so it's still awe inspiring.
