MASAI
MARA NATIONAL RESERVE |
World-famous Masai
Mara National Reserve is the highlight of most Kenya safaris.
Widely regarded as the best game-viewing park in the country,
it features varied terrain that ranges from rolling savannahs
to riverine forests. Zebras, gazelles and impalas roam expansive,
golden grasslands punctuated by distinctive flat-topped
acacia trees. |

The "Big Five" (lions,
leopards, buffaloes, elephants and rhinos) can also be spotted
here. Hippos loll about in the Mara River, while countless
bird species flock overhead.
More than 1 million wildebeests
and zebras migrate annually to Masai Mara from the parched
Serengeti plains of neighboring Tanzania. Some Kenya safaris
also visit Masai villages, where guests can interact with
local cattle-herders. |
