Awaken the senses

Mara Plains - Wildlife 5

The best word to describe here is “paradise”. Situated alongside Ntiakitiak River where Fig trees amongst other trees towers high, Mara Plains is indeed paradise on earth. Early at dawn a myriad of bird’s calls fill the air, the most vocal being the colourful white-browed robin chats, weaver birds and the raucous turaco.
As guests get into the open solid land cruiser at the car parking area the golden orb sun rays beams across the sky silhouetting our resident lions as they walk in tow downhill to the nearby bushes where they shall shield themselves from glaring sun later in the day. From a distance a zebra brays perhaps to celebrate the new dawn and the fact that it survived the previous night.
The entire Conservancy is teaming with wildlife of all kinds, from the tiny ants to the mighty elephants. Different habitats at Olare-Motorogi Conservancy harbour different species of animals as every animal has a unique adaption to its niche. Driving across and alongside each one of them you not only find all the animals but also see the real beauty and breath taking views of Maasai Mara.
