Seasoned
safari travelers, travel writers, documentary makers and researchers often
admit that the Masai Mara is one of their favorite places. So why is that?
Perhaps it is because of the 'big skies', the open savannahs, the romance of
films like 'Out of Africa' and certainly because of the annual wildebeest
migration, the density of game, the variety of birdlife and the chance of a
hot air balloon ride. |
