green the herbivore are all spread out but as the crass get taller in some
parts of the park antelopes tend to maintain the level in in some areas. The
migration from loita plain are still around as the north part of Mara is still
dry and owners have decide to fence
making hard for residents migration.

insects come out of the soil to get sun and breath. The migrant are not left
out white storks are all over the Mara.

very well many of them have cubs some are breeding we hope there will be more
lions in the next few months as the north migration will be staying around.

dominant males Blacky & lipstick, They are wondering from the ridge, Topi
plain and Olare-orok river they have skilfully female hence make kill almost

ELEPHANTS
Since the
migration from Tanzania left there have been big herds of Elephant around some
having calf and some big male seem to be breeding. They are beautiful creatures
to watch especially when wallowing in the mud, Availability of newly growing
trees make them happy as compared to dry spell when they struggle to get the
required kilos of food.

their game meet but as they are protected in the park there number is growing
up in number they have many calf and no longer shy.
