Masai Mara Game Drive
Masai Mara Game Drive
The Masai Mara is Kenya's finest wildlife sanctuary; everything about this reserve is outstanding. The wildlife is abundant and the gentle rolling grassland ensures that animals are never out of sight. Birds, too, are prolific, including migratory birds and 53 bird-of-prey species.
The wildlife is far from being confined within the reserve boundaries, and an even larger area, generally referred to as the "dispersal area", extends north and east of the game reserve. The first sight of this park is breathtaking. Here, the great herds of shuffling elephants browse among the rich tree-studded grasslands with an occasional sighting of a solitary and ill-tempered rhino. Thousands of plains herbivores, such as Thompson's and Grant's gazelle, topi, and eland, provide a rich food source for the dominant predators, such as lion, leopard, and cheetah, all of which hunt in this pristine wilderness.
