“Our guide while on safari was a local Maasai who grew up nearby. He had a keen sense of knowledge of the lions' habits and where to find them. He was so attuned to his "place" that he knew where to find this male lion based on the weather and the movement of the pride of females and cubs we encountered the evening prior. It was inspiring to meet someone who connected so deeply with their place of upbringing. ”
