The trip occured during the summer before the December riots last year. We were there in the Masai Mara in time for the wildebeest migration--I have photos of them as well--but the buggers never crossed the Mara River while we were there. They were too busy eating grass! There were thousands of them. Amazing. As for the elephants, they'll just sand there while you take your photographs--and you're so close. They're not like the giraffes at all, who run off when the jeeps get too close. And the lions? Yikes! They walk right past the front of the jeep, like they're taunting you, daring you to step out in front of them. If you ever get a chance to go to Kenya, I recommend the Fairmont Mara Safari Club. It's upscale, very nice, and everyone's friendly beyond belief. Jackie Hey there, Jon,
