Masai Mara National Reserve:

Kenya Safaris
“The Lion Kingdom, a Hunter’s Paradise and Home of the Great Migration’’

 

 

 

 

 

The Masai Mara National Reserve is probably the most famous and most visited reserve in Kenya and perhaps in the whole world. It offers breathtaking views (seen in the film ‘Out of Africa’, much of which was filmed here) an extraordinary density of animals including the “Big Five” and many varieties of plains game.


The most impressive feature of Masai Mara is the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle from the plains of the Serengeti that cross the Tanzanian border and rivers to reach the Mara’s lush grassland from late June, hunted by the predators: lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and circled by vultures as the journey unfolds. Their dramatic river crossings are a reality for tourists visiting in July – August.

Apart from the seasonal migration, game viewing in Masai Mara is excellent year round. Game includes: elephant, Black Rhino, buffalo, plains zebra, roan antelope in small numbers, white-bearded gnu, Oribi, warthog, Thomson's and Grant's gazelle, hartebeest and the big cats; the rivers are home to hippo and crocodiles.Maasai Mara has the largest population of lion.

Masai Mara birdlife is as profuse as wildlife. These include red winged schalow's turaco, white-tipped crest, Ross turaco, orange buff pel's fishing owl, and wary guinea fowl. The open plains birds include Jackson's bustard, black-bellied hartlaubs bustard. 53 species of birds of prey have been recorded. Secretary birds are common.

Accommodation In Masai Mara ranges from stone lodges to luxury tented camps.Your choice of accommodation here in Masai Mara will be dictacted by your travel budget

The northern area owned by the Maasai, offers great game viewing, game walks and night game driving.
