Our last three days were spent in Maasai Mara National Reserve, world-famous for its spectacular migration of almost two million wildebeest and zebras that thunder across the vast plains and river crossings; it was right out of the Discovery Channel! We stayed just outside the park at a permanent “luxury” tent camp with solar-powered lighting, and no running water but flushing toilets and showers in each tent. Inside the park it was the safari you think of when you think safari. In one lucky day we had a big-cat sweep – Lions, Cheetahs, a Leopard, and even the elusive Serval. White-backed, Lappet-faced, and Rueppell’s Griffon Vultures squabbled over a kill. Two Ostriches courted and mated in a wing-waggling, head-swishing display that still makes me giggle. Secretarybirds, long-legged raptors specially adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle, strode through the grass. Kori Bustard rounded out the list of large birds I most-wanted on this trip.
