Maasai Mara Game Reserve is widely considered
to be Africas greatest wildlife reserve.
The Mara comprises 200 sq miles of open
plains, woodlands and riverine forest.
The vast grassland plains are scattered with
herds of Zebra, Giraffe, Gazelle, and Topi. The Acacia forests
abound with Birdlife and Monkeys.
Elephants and Buffalo wallow in the wide
Musiara Swamp. The Mara and Talek rivers are brimming with Hippos
and Crocodiles.
Each year the Mara plays host to the worlds
greatest natural spectacle, the Great Wildebeest Migration from
the Serengeti.
The Mara has been called the Kingdom of Lions
and these regal and powerful hunters dominate these grasslands.
Cheetah are also a common sight in the Mara, as
are Hyena and smaller predators such as Jackals.
The Mara is an awesome natural wonder, a place
where Maasai warriors share the plains with hunting lions, a place
of mighty herds and timeless cycles of life, death and
regeneration.
The Reserve is a popular attraction with
Safari operators.
Wildlife moves freely in and out of the
reserve, and through neighbouring Maasai lands.
