The Living Lion King

4 August 2009, 7:43 pm

Wildebeests, Warthogs, Zebras, Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Gazelles, Hippos, Topi, Impala, Giraffes and many other mammals, birds and reptiles were observed on our safari. This Great Migration of 2 million animals from the Serengeti in Tanzania to Masai Mara in Kenya covers 25,000 sq km of Red Oat Grass. It’s an amazing demonstration of Mother Nature; I am so fortunate to experience this along with all the other developed country tourists who can afford to safari. There was not one Kenyan on safari and I suspect that less than 1% of the local people ever get a chance. The Masai tribes have been displaced from the plains for the safari camps and struggle to find grazing lands for their cattle. The drought has been extremely tough the last few years which threatens the sustainability of the Great Migration and the nomadic lifestyle of the beautiful Masai people. It would be sad to think that we are the last generation who will witness this marvelous ecosystem.
