Masai Mara

After we left Nukuru in central kenya, we headed over the edges of the rift valley on torn up Kenyan road to the Masai Mara. The Masai Mara is the northern section of the Serengeti on the Kenyan side, and it is absolutely packed with the big game animals that we so often associate with Africa. We saw lions, elephants, and giraffes; along with the thousands of wilder beasts that make an annual migration in August. It was truly amazing, but I'll let some of the pictures speak for me:

It's amazing how close the wildlife, especially the large predictors let you get to them. The lion pictures come from the last morning we were there. As we were driving out we spotted the male lions head poking up out of the grass. We we drove over it ended up being a whole family, with the cubs running around playing the whole time we were there. I have tons more, and some great videos that I'll put up on Flickr when I get back to the states.
