MASAI MARA GAME RESERVE

[1,812sq km – 700sq miles] – located in the South Rift region. Its southern boundary is contiguous with Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park.

Masai Mara is world’s famous the annual migration [in July and august] when millions of wildebeest [gunus] gather to start their journey crossing Mara River in the east of the reserve. [The movement is now recognized as the 5th world wonder]; There are hippo pools along the Mara river which flows through the reserve from north to south, where predators – hippos and the crocodiles are seen lazing by the water sides. Everything in the Mara is breath taking; a panorama of vast rolling plains and rounded hills, Mara possesses the largest population of black manned lions and boasts large herds of Topi and a small population of Roan Antelope. Elephants are common. Masai Mara has migratory and non-migratory animals and one is guaranteed of full game viewing.
