The Maasai Mara

The Maasai Mara is one of the most famous game reserves in Kenya. It is named after the indigenous people, the "Masai." More about them later.

We saw quite a few wildebeast and zebras. Apparently they often stay together because they both like the same type of grass -- the zebra eat the tops of the stalks, and the wildebeast eat the bottoms. The wildebeast were in the midst of their annual migration, and we saw them often lined up single-file.





It is not so clear to me if the zebras were migrating too, or were just hanging around the wildebeast.
