When asked where my favourite place in the world is, the Mara always ranks very highly (along with parts of Somerset, Shetland and South Georgia) and for good reason. I know of nowhere else on earth, where so many large creatures of such bewildering variety can be seen in a single view. When I was a kid I would, from time to time, get little transfer sets with my pocket money. Even though these came in a variety of themes, from sport to space travel, I always plumped for the wildlife sets (no, really??!) which featured jungles, polar landscapes and the savannah.
