The Masai Mara is known for its wide expansive wilderness that measures up t about 1510 square Kilometers of plains. The Masai Mara has very unique wildlife due to the many years of good conservation efforts here. The area offers the best experience of the big cats with the area being the best location to see the leopard in Kenya. Some of the unique wildlife here include: Lions, Cheetah, Elephant, Rhino, African Buffalo, Wildebeest, Giraffe and Zebra.
In Kenya, the most popular conservation area is this national game reserve. This is hardly a wonder that makes the list of world wonders. An annual feature of this location’s wonders is the wildebeest migration, which takes place during the dry season as animals from the Serengeti relocate to the Masai Mara in search of better pastures. Here is another marvel: the Masai tribe. This group of individuals has a very distinct manner of living. You should also be on the lookout for their departure from this kind of life.
Local residents are the ones who gave the park its name. A million wildebeests and other species, including zebras and some cats, migrate from the Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara during the big migration, which typically takes place between July and September. It’s remarkable how they manage to go across and reach this place despite all the choppy conditions, such as crocodile-infested seas and numerous predators.
There are several activities that you can enjoy while in the Masai Mara game reserve like the game drives, nature walks cultural experiences, horseback riding, hot air balloon safari and bush meals. A flight from Nairobi to the Masai Mara will last about an hour but you can also access this game reserve by road which is about a 3 hours drive.
