This was July 2012. The wildebeest should be migrating about now in the Maasi region.
I just don't understand what kind of education these folks could benefit from they don't already have?

How do you reconcile the dedication of a Millionaire Mindset in completely changing the lives of people and the beauty of their country? There is just so much that can be done with migrating Wildebeest.
Reading Hemingway might be a real enhancement. A popular discussion around the tribal fire, but, then what? I just don't see a line of condos with a manmade swimming pool a part of the picture. The migrating Wildebeest IS the economy. There is no joy found in the lives of these people and their traditions?

The spectacular Mara River wildebeest crossing is expected to kick off the annual tourism peak season in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
