Dubbed “the lion country” Masai Mara National Reserve shares the delicate eco-system with Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and teems with a very high wildlife population including all the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo and the highly elusive leopard and rhino). Other game present would include large zebra population, over 76 species of big and small antelopes, African wild dog, hyena, fox and giraffe among many. This reserve is also the epi-centre of the phenomenal annual wildebeest migration which attracts all the big cats and herbivores alike, as they compete with each other for survival and against crocodile attacks coupled with hippo accidents at River Mara crossing-point. The birdlife range is also quite impressive, the gently rolling savannah landscape amid endless undisturbed African skies notwithstanding.
Take note that your journey from Nairobi on the day of departure will also include a stop-over at the Viewpoint of The Great Rift Valley.
