Maasai Mara, Kenya
Sep 2017
The Maasai Mara National Reserve of Kenya is the ancestral land of the Maasai. The landscape is a vast expanse of golden grass dotted with occasional trees and termite mounds and so the Maasai call it 'the Mara' which means "spotted" in the Maa language. From July to October every year the wildebeest, topi, zebra, Thomson's gazelles migrate from the plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania to make the treacherous journey to the Masaai Mara chasing the rain and green pastures. Following them closely on this circular route are the lions, cheetahs and hyenas.
It is a privilege to have witnessed and photographed one of nature's greatest journeys.
