Botany in Safaris: Part II

As part two of our episodes about traveling in the Mara, I am talking with Fred Ronko, a Maasai naturalist from Lemek—a village in the northern, greater Maasai Mara. For decades, Fred has been guiding photographers and film crews in the Mara, as well as visitors traveling with the award-winning safari company, Asilia Africa.

Fred will share where he grew up, and insights into the Maasai natural world. Why stars are helpful in finding grass for cattle and water for humans, and the relationship between Maasai warriors, their cattle and, of course, lions.
