Spot of the Week
Feeling Green
A powerful precipitation percussion drummed the Mara last week. Trickles are now torrents, gullies gorges and culverts and creeks are crenulated by coursing currents.
The whole complexion of this priceless ecosystem has changed: torpid, tired grass now has colour and vigour. The herds graze contentedly and the predators reap heavy harvests. The emerald plains are one big topi and gazelle post natal class. Lions roll languidly, cheetahs pick up meals to go and leopards’ diets change from russet hors d'oeuvres to charcoal entrees. Only the hyena spoils the party, like Mitt Romney on a foreign junket, they upset just about everyone they encounter. But the Mara would stink without them.
The river is high, expectations higher, yet evenings are married with dazzling dawns – the Mara at its intoxicating best.
