MASAI MARA SAFARI
Alia & Chris
There is no place on our beautiful planet quite like the Masai Mara....
To put it in simple terms we cannot get enough of the Mara. When we think of all the places in the world, we consistently come back to it as one of the most beautiful destinations. This is because the diversity that Mara offers cannot be matched anywhere else in the world. As avid safari goers, we have realised that wildlife encounters are most definitely food for our souls.
You wouldn't call us morning people; however, we find ourselves quite easily able to wake up at 5 am. Perhaps it is the anticipation of what the day holds, and the thought of the upcoming encounters with nature that fill us with excitement.
Our morning wake up calls consist of listening to the sounds of hippos from the distant Talek river, to the roaring of lions, and birds chirping as the dawn of a new day breaks. Mara embodies the African dream that we all dream of; such as seeing like a cheetah on a hunt, elephants roaming the wild plains, or even catching a glimpse of an elusive leopard.
The beautiful and diverse landscape of Mara, combined with the expectation of the unknown, leaves us with an indescribable feeling. The cycle of the wild and rebirth of the earth tosses you into a different magical dimension that ensures we return year after year to capture exquisite wildlife moments through our passion of photography.
Until the next time.
