This safari trip will take place in Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya. The Maasai Mara is a large game reserve in the south-west Kenya. The name is derived from the Maasai people and the Mara River which divides it into eastern and western parts. The extensive savannah grassland in between the rolling hills hosts a large variety of wild animals. Every year, about 2.5 million wildebeests and hundred thousands of zebras wander through the Masai Mara between the months of June and October on their Great Migration between the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Masai Mara in Kenya. This spectacle has recently been declared the seventh natural world wonder.

Masai Mara is a permanent home to lions, leopards, cheetahs, black rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, antelopes, and around 400 species of birds among many others. Wildebeests traverse its plains during their annual migration. The landscape has grassy plains and rolling hills and is crossed by the Mara and Talek rivers. The area nearby is dotted with villages (enkangs) of Maasai people. It is named after the Maasai people (the traditional inhabitants of the area) and their description of the area when looked at from afar, “Mara”, which is Maa (Maasai language) for “spotted,” an apt description for the circles of trees, scrub, savanna, and cloud shadows that mark the area.
