Location
Maasai Mara National Reserve
The Maasai Mara, together with Tanzania’s Serengeti, forms Africa’s most famous wildlife park in Kenya. The image of acacia trees on an endless grass plain epitomizes Africa for many and then add a Maasai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conversation need to go no further. The annual wildebeest migration through the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara is the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet with more than a million animals following the rains.
However, that is not where the game viewing ends, a large pride of lions, elephants, and giraffes in grasslands, gazelles, and eland are to mention but a few. Aside from traditional vehicle safaris, hot-air ballooning over the Mara plains has become almost essential and you can even do a horseback safari.
