Wildlife of the Masai Mara

Having not been to Kenya for some time, it was wonderful to see the prolific wildlife that was present in this area. Not only have I never seen so many big cats in such a small amount of time, but the number of plains game was extraordinary too, even though the Serengeti migration had not yet arrived.

I hope this video, even with my rather shaky photography skills at times, shows just how incredible this place is.
