| It is here,
on the Maasai Mara - the "spotted land" of the Maasai
people, that the greatest migration on the planet takes place .
Every year, driven by a force man cannot comprehend, two million
wildebeest, interspersed by herds of zebra, cross the Mara River
from Tanzania to eat the lush grass resulting from the seasonal
"long rains" in Kenya. It is this display which lures
people and predators to this place, but there is more to the
Mara than the annual spectacle.
No wonder that the Mara is favourite
viewing for millions thanks to the Big Cat Diary and the
Discovery Channel... watching the plains game and their
predators becomes a daily ritual.
Each day brings a surprise, whether it is
a bush breakfast prepared by our camp staff, a night drive or
interaction between wildlife, The wildlife is unequaled in all
the world. Herds roam at will and graze seemingly content, but
always on the lookout for predators; lion, leopard, cheetah and
hyena. This is Eden!
"They are endless and they are
empty, but they are as warm with life as the water of a tropic
sea. They are webbed with the paths of eland and wildebeest and
Thompson's gazelle and their hollows and valleys are trampled by
thousands of zebra."
