Masai Mara safari
The Masai Mara is considered by many to be one of Kenya's finest game
reserves.
The reserve has now been upgraded to
the Seven wonders of the world.
The rolling grasslands offer ideal
game viewing and photographic opportunities and the grassy plains are
broken by rocky outcrops which are favorite midday resting places for
wildlife. Lion abundant throughout the reserve which makes it a
must-visit for while in Kenya.
Some of the other animals which can be seen in and around this 700
square mile conservation area include elephant, black rhino, buffalo,
leopard, cheetah, wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle. Hippo and crocodile
abound in the muddy brown waters of the rivers which traverse this
Reserve.
One of the Mara's main attractions
each year is the astonishing spectacle of the annual migration of up to
two million wildebeest, thousands of zebra and an escort of carnivores
from the Serengeti plains, following the rains and succulent new grass.
A costly trek as many of the lame, laggard and sick will fall prey to
the ravening pack of predators and many more will die in the swirling
flood waters trying to cross the Mara River. Once the rains have ended
and the grass begins to wither the wildebeest turn south and head back
to the Serengeti and beyond.
