Masai Mara has the largest variety of animals of all the game reserves here in Kenya. After our 2 safaris, I am told we are lucky to have seen all but 2 of the "Big 5" - giraffe, lion, hippo, leopard, and rhinoceros - some folks go away with not seeing any animals! We didn't see any rhinoceros or leopard.We almost witnessed a "kill" yesterday - a mother giraffe and her 2 babies were being stalked by 2 maile lions in the bush. Mom started walking toward the lions - every time she turned away,they would creep closer.
When they finally did attack, mom bolted very quickly, as did the babies. It seem
s she had approached the lions "on purpose" to draw the lions to her and away from the babies - an amazing site to watch.Our time is almost up here. The Sopa Lodge where we are staying is a lush facility with pool, great food and waitstaff. In the dinner area, you can hear Japanese, Indian,Mandarin, German, English, French and more. Today we move northeast to Lake Nakuru for more game watching.
