The Mara

The Maasai Mara in southern Kenya. God's Country. Its migration time.
1.5 million wildebeest migrate from Tanzania into Kenya. Along with 500,000
Needless to say this croc has had his fill of wildebeest.
He is the size of a VW bus and could barely move.


We spent a good portion of the day watching this beautiful foursome.
Their chins we pink from blood, they had just eaten and their bellies full.

We watched a pride of lions, 6 cubs, rumbling and playing. It was a lion pig pile. They rolled on each other, bit each other's tails, ran and pounced on each other--just simply played and had a ball. Here are two of the cubs with mom looking over the plains.
