When one hears the word safari, Kenya comes to mind. The word alone conjures up visions of acacia-dotted landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see, covered with vast herds of elephants, zebra, and wildebeest. And there are tribal people who have called this part of Africa home for thousands of years and whose very survival has depended on their ability to life in harmony with nature. It is this part of Africa that most paleanathropologist believe that approximately 35,000 years ago the first Home sapiens walked north (probably because of a change in the climate) and began a journey that has resulted in close to seven billion of us inhabiting one small planet, of which few live in harmony with nature.

During our five days in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, we will have an opportunity to observe and photograph the large numbers and veriety of wildlife in Kenya's most popular game reserve set aside for wildlife conservation. We will also see hundreds of birds as Kenya has over 1,200 different species. We will spend time visiting and photographing the indiginous colorful Maasai. We will explore what customs and beliefs they might hold that are different then those held in the western world and how we might benefit from their knowledge and wisdom. We will also meet with the conservationists at the Mara Conservancy. We will travel in custom built 7-passenger Land Cruisers with photographic viewing hatches with a maximum of five people in each vehicle.
