explorer1Week spent in the Maasai Mara w Cousin Tony and Aunt Mary – great sightings: loads of lions – even witnessed a lion love triangle; found an elusive cheetah and later, a leopard perched on top of a hammerkop nest. Learned about fig wasps, lion behavior, experienced harrowing bush driving after an impressive African storm, found Neolithic stone tools, witnessed wildebeest migration in action, saw hoards of hippos and a few well fed crocs in the Mara River, learned Swahili stories how the zebra got its stripes and so much more. Will miss this stunning place – we’ll just have to come back!! Thank you Tony Binks for your excellent guiding, driving, stories and musical interludes!
