MASAI
MARA GAME RESERVE |
|

Masai Mara
is Kenya’s premier for game viewing. It is the northern
extension of the Serengeti ecosystem (Tanzania). Animals are
plentiful here. When you enter Mara you’ll see an astonishing
amount of wildlife, often in one place at one time. The
highlight of the Masai Mara is the annual wildebeest
migration, when literally millions of these ungainly beasts
stray north from the Serengeti in search of lush grass. It is
truly a staggering experience to be in the reserve at that
time. Other species seen in the Mara are such as elephant,
lion, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, black rhino, zebra, thomson’s
gazelle, eland and masai giraffe. Also seen are topi, wild
dog and spotted hyena among other species.
Spend your
day viewing and photographing the animals in this amazing
reserve.
