Yep, still here in the Mara, and it is truly a magical place.
Yesterday, we had guests watch two cheetah chase and take down an impala, only to have a leopard burst from the bushes and try to steal the kill . . . in the chaos, the impala up and ran away! Also in the same day, two male lions killed a hippo, and another pair of lions were mating. Another guest saw 3 prides and more than 20 lions yesterday.
Seeing that I missed all this action while at work all day, I took a Tusker to the quiet side of camp at sundown for a little peace and quiet away from guests, and 1000ft below me could see a pride of lions with seven cubs playing on some termite mounds, not to mention the ubiquitous elephant, buffalo, giraffe, and other plains game. In a few weeks we'll have nearly 2 million wildebeest start crossing the Mara River, trying to avoid 20-foot crocs.
There's nothing like Africa.
