 The Masai Mara National Reserve, the most famous and
visited national park in Kenya, is located in South Western Kenya,
and stretches along the border with Tanzania. The Masai Mara region
is part of the extensive Serengeti Plains, which stretch across
into the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Animals including
lions, elephant, rhino, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, antelope, zebra,
wildebeest and monkeys are easily seen on Kenya Masai Mara Safari
Tours. It is also home to the native Masai people, who
traditionally practice cattle herding. You can see the Masai
herdsmen in their colorful red attire on Kenya Masai Mara Safari
Tours.
Wildlife in Masai Mara
The Masai Mara National Reserve is incredibly rich in wildlife,
which are protected and can freely cross over from one country to
another. The Great Migration, occurs every year as immense herds of
wildebeest, antelope, and zebra migrate in search of food and water
and cross the river Mara into Kenya in July/August, only to return
to Tanzania in October. You can see this amazing spectacle on Kenya
Masai Mara safari tours, with Kenya Tour Guide.
The landscape of Masai Mara consists of rolling grasslands,
called savannah, dotted with acacia trees, termite mounds, scrub
and small bushes. Tourists can see the Big Five African Wildlife
Attractions - Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Rhino, and Cape Buffalo
on Kenya Masai Mara Safari Tours. Other animals seen here are
cheetah, hippo, giraffe, hyena, wildebeest, antelope, zebra, and
eland. Numerous birds ranging from tiny sunbirds to large vultures
can also be seen at Masai Mara.
Accommodation in Masai Mara
There are many safari lodges and reserves in and around Masai Mara,
and you can enjoy a stay at the reserve along with safari rides in
closed jeeps. The lions have no fear of humans and will continue a
meal uninterrupted even if a jeep halts nearby for tourists to
observe it on Kenya Masai Mara Safari Tours.
The Masai People
The Masai tribal people have been living here since the 17th
century. They are pastoralists and do not hunt the wildlife in the
reserve, where they live in traditional villages and graze their
cattle. Tourists can buy Masai handicrafts such as beadwork or
carved wooden figurines from the souvenir shops in the town of
Narok on Kenya Masai Mara Safari Tours.
How to reach Masai Mara
Masai Mara is a 6-hour drive from Nairobi or a half an hour flight
from Nairobi airport.
