Dawn spreads amber across the Mara plains and the low rumble of hooves becomes the day’s metronome. You sit in an open-top 4x4 and watch thousands of wildebeest and zebra thread across grasslands, then pause where the Mara River dares them to cross. This is safari as sustained theater: river crossings, crocodiles on the banks, and predators shadowing the edge of life and death.
