Masai Mara National Reserve

Handshake with the animal kingdom!

We visited Masai Mara National Reserve in November 2011 which is considered to be a rainy season there. And rainy it was! As soon as we checked in to Sentrim Mara Lodge, it started pouring. For a moment we felt that the game drive we had been dreaming of had been drained away, but soon the weather started to ease off. The heavily clouded atmosphere added a breathtaking spectacle in the overall atmosphere.

Masai Mara presented an uninterrupted expanse of grass and trees which is really a treat to watch. Roaming around in the wilderness with the animals is something which is beyond expression. It like being a candid observer of a wildlife routine!

We also took the Hot Air Balloon Safari, without which I feel the safari experience is half-done!

The safari is absolutely safe and the precautionary procedures are well observed. The lodges range from extraordinary to very disappointing depending on what you pay for. Our experience of Sentrim Mara Lodge was really an exciting one.

Masai Mara is famous for the Wildebeest and Zebra migration to Tanzania around Mara River. We were not expecting to observe this natural wonder in November, but we were extremely lucky that we were able to see the famous uninterrupted chain of wildebeest migrating in November, and that was something which has left deep memories to me and my family.

the Kenya counter part of the Mighty Serengeti, feel the silence, and experience the Lion King story in its savana. good place for the big 5.

Exelent lodges. Large area lots of animals. Tends to be crouded by tourists

There is not much to tell about Massai Maraanymore. It is well known through yearly migration of ten thousands of animals. But even the the migration is over and the herd have moved back to serengeti there is still lots of wildlife to spot. The big cats and other predators do not migrate. In the short grass it is difficult to spot lions or cheetas.
The backdraw during my visit were the ongiong presence of tons of cattle, goats and donkeys in the park.

A pristine wilderness of haunting beauty with the 'greatest show on earth' !

Kenya meet all my expectations on accommodations, services, guides, drivers, food, and specially on the safaris. I think the most important think is do arrangements with a local company plenty of experience.

the best national park

Thousands of wildbeasts and zebras, wide landscapes, all kind of bird of pray, a great experience.

The best of the best. The classic safari experience not to be missed. If you have only one place to go on safari go to Masai Mara.

it is "the savana" as we imagine it, perfect
