Seeing Spots!

For the last two decades, the population of cheetahs in the Mara has increased markedly. There is a fear that the cheetah population is facing a threat of inbreeding. These three brothers have a home range in the central part of the Mara. (Picture in front of my safari Land Rover.)

This year's Great Migration

This year, the great migration arrived at the Mara from the Serengeti earlier than usual. During the first week of June, the herds were already in the Masai Mara. Having arrived early, there are signs that the herds will leave earlier -- before end of October. Already most of the population have crossed the border. This photo shows that the herds have just dispatched from a meeting in the Mara plains and the next conference will be held in the Serengeti.

My Brother's Wedding

On September 11, 2010, our family, relatives and friends were all happy to welcome a new bride into the family. My younger brother, Simore, married a young maiden from another village 5 milies from Oltorotua.

It was a big party with about 200+ attendants. We butchered 6 lambs alongside cakes, soft drinks, chips and tea. Here are a few photos.
