Masai Mara
The Masai Mara National Reserve is probably the most famous and most visited reserve in Kenya. 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.
An impressive feature 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 Maras 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 is excellent year round. Game includes: elephant, Black Rhino, buffalo, plains zebra, roan antelope in small numbers, white-bearded gnu, Oribi, warthog, Thomsons and Grants gazelle, hartebeest and the big cats; the rivers are home to hippo and crocodiles. Maasai Mara has the largest population of lion. The northern area owned by the Maasai, offers great gameviewing, game walks and night game driving.

T HE FAMOUS MASAI MARA MIGRATION
The
Masai Mara migration is known as the greatest animal show on earth.
Wild animals literally move like a blanket across this amazing
landscape in search of pasture. When the seasonal drought dries up one
area, the animals move to the next area where the seasonal rains are
falling. Over a million widebeests participate in the migration as well
as hundreds of zebras and Thomson Gazelles. The carnivorous animals are
not part of the migration, but they feast on them as their paths cross.
To witness this amazing experience book your flights to the Mara with
us, we have two daily flights.
