Dawn spills gold across broad grassland as your Land Cruiser rolls off the lodge track and into the Mara. The air smells of dust and crushed grass; a distant hippo blow punctuates the morning and a lone acacia casts a long, patient shadow over the plains. This is Masai Mara—open, moving country where predators watch and migration rhythms govern the landscape.
