Masai Mara (14): Sunday Elephant

May 29, 2010 By Guy St. Clair

Charles and I planned our final game drive for Sunday morning, since the Sekenani Gate, where we had entered the Masai Mara Game Research and from which we would leave, was quite some distance from the Sopa Lodge and it wouldn’t make sense to circle back around. So we decided I would check out of …

Masai Mara (13): An Historic Sighting

May 28, 2010 By Guy St. Clair

Masai Mara (5): Maasai Manyatta

May 23, 2010 By Guy St. Clair

We had seen many of these family compounds, known in Maasai as a manyatta, as we drove around the Maasai countryside, both on this safari and when we had returned from Kisii some weeks back. They are not villages, as such. Instead they are compounds where the extended family of one man lives. Let me …
