Maasai Mara National Reserve
The Masai Mara Reserve is the most popular touristic destination in Kenya, located in the Great Rift Valley, in primarily open grassland. Wildlife is most concentrated in the reserve’s western escarpment. The reserve is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas.
Maasai Mara is an area of preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya, along the Tanzanian border. 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 in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place, the great migration. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from Serengeti in Tanzania in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savannah, lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and vultures.
