Masai Mara, Kenya

The Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya is part of a vast ecosystem that extends south into the Serengeti in Tanzania. The Masai Mara, home of the Maasai people, is an evocative east African landscape characterized by sweeping savannas studded with flat-topped acacia trees and woodland-lined watercourses. Above these immense panoramas are expansive skies - sometimes a sun-scorched vivid blue, and at other times painted with a glorious sunset or with dark and menacing storm clouds.
