The long rains are coming to an end but the Mara plains have received a good amount of rainfall over the last one month.

The grass has grown tremendously and most of the bulk grazers are enjoying feeding on the fresh green grass.

Martin and his four guests were out on a fullday game drive. They had a chance to see lots of different species while driving around but the most interesting was when they came across a herd of Elephants feeding. His guests found it facinating to see the amount of grass the full grown elly's were plucking with their trunks.

Elephants are mixed feeders with 75% of their diet consisting of grass.
