We spent eight days on safari in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The reserve covers 580 square miles in Kenya and borders Serengeti Park to the south. We were fortunate to see zebra, topi, wildebeest, cape buffalo, lions, leopards, elephant herds, rhinoceros, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, jackals, elands, crocodiles, ostrich, baboons, giraffes, and many other species just when their young were starting to become active.
