Masai Mara National Reserve is indeed a renowned wildlife haven in East Africa.
The river crossings, where the animals attempt to cross crocodile-infested rivers such as the Mara and Grumeti rivers, are particularly awe-inspiring and often serve as a test of survival for the migrating herds. The sight of thousands of animals making their way across these treacherous waters is a breathtaking spectacle that draws visitors and wildlife enthusiasts from around the world.
The Wildebeest Migration is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of these animals, as well as the intricate ecological balance of the Serengeti ecosystem. It's a reminder of the incredible natural wonders that exist on our planet and the importance of preserving and protecting them for future generations to witness and appreciate.
When we are in Kenya we are also celebrating diversity and promoting unity …they are key components of building a more inclusive and harmonious world. Embracing different perspectives, traditions, and cultures enriches our collective experience and allows us to learn from one another.
“If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa.”
The reserve takes its name from the Maasai people, who have been inhabitants of the region for centuries, alongside the Mara River that courses through the plains.
When you arrive and settle into Kenya and the new culture with its people and landscape, you begin to experience first hand that, at our core, all human beings are the same. We are of one large tribe that has adapted to survive different environments. It is not only possible, but vital, for the future of this world that all of us explore the concepts of tribal identity and to experience connection to our wider, human tribe, across cultural divides.
We will connect with the Maasai … and also see them in the landscape, as they are recognized by their distinctive red shawls. Originating from what is now South Sudan, the Maasai have tended to their cattle on these lands for generations, a practice still observed by many. Our personal connections to the tribes in Kenya provide authentic connection and lots of laughter to be shared!
We will have the unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in their culture while exploring the Maasai Mara, adding an enriching layer to their experience in this remarkable region. Experiencing firsthand the diversity of human cultures and landscapes can be a transformative and enlightening experience. It helps individuals recognize the universal values and aspirations that bind us all together, regardless of our specific cultural backgrounds.
