The Spirit of the World ( On and Off)
Morning in Masai Mara
This was my first time in the park. I had been in the Serengeti in Tanzania several times. This area in Kenya is actually quite different. It seemed a little bit more tame and less wild because of the landscape, but equally as majestic and beautiful.
The name for this wildlife reserve is of course taken from the the famous tribe that has called it home. Mara means "spotted " in Swahili. Quite a great description because these small acacia trees appear like spots across the vast grasslands.
In Tanzania, the landscape offers up surprises around every bend and in Kenya the landscape is fairly predictable as one explores and tracks the animals. I might add that this was true of the area by Little Governor's Camp where I stayed and the rest of the park probably offers different topography
