About Masai Mara National Park

The Masai Mara is the most popular game reserve in Kenya. It is an extension of the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania, and offers the best game viewing in Kenya. On these open rolling grasslands you can often see an incredible variety of different animals at one time. Perhaps a cheetah mother sits on a termite mound with her punky-looking cubs, while beyond, gazelle, antelope and zebra placidly graze. Giraffe might peer curiously through the trees, while elephant pass on silent feet and vultures circle above. Every year millions of wildebeest migrate north from the Serengeti to the green grass of the Mara. This exiting spectacle usually occurs sometime between July and August. Even when animals are not highlighting the scene, the views by themselves are worth the trip. Imagine bright oblique rays of evening light slanting under blue-black storm clouds. The rich expanses of waving grass are brilliant in this light, and the solitary flat-topped acacia tree is dramatically spotlighted on the crest of a hill.
