Kenya - Mara Day 9

June 24, 2020

Day 9 of the virtual tour of our first trip to Kenya - Lion Day

After yet another stunning sunrise; today was the day of the Lion. We saw them waking, sleeping, yawning, sleeping, mating, sleeping, stalking, sleeping, prowling, sleeping, slinking., snoozing and of course.. sleeping. The only activity missing was a hunt; but this was clearly not on their agenda today.  Doing their best to avoid the big cats was a clan of banded mongoose, scurrying through the grass avoiding any confrontation.

After the game drives we had colourful Agama Lizards in the camp along with the Mousebirds, whose antics were enchanting and last but not least the distant Elephant cousin, a Rock Hyrax. 

Please help preserve this wildlife sanctuary by supporting the Community Wildlife Project as we do. This fantastic project supports the local communities who rely on tourism during the Covid-19 pandemic as well as existing anti-poaching units / organisations. It is though their work that Parks such as the Masai Mara National Park are still getting some protection for the wildlife as well as support for the local Masai communities. Please check out the website and help in anyway you can, share the message. Conservation is in the hands of all of us. Follow the project on Facebook, there are regular updates on project beneficiaries and videos and images from the national parks and local villages.
