Maasai Mara Tours, Maasai Mara Game Safaris
Maasai Mara Adventures
Most of the Mara consists of rolling grasslands covered with Acacia trees
and dense bush thickets. It's southern boundary is continuous with Tanzania
's famed Serengeti National Park and it is across this boundary that the
spectacular seasonal migration of millions of Wildebeest and Zebra pass
in their search for water and grazing lands. The Reserve is divided into
two sections-the inner area, where no human settlement is allowed and
other outer section where the colourful Maasai are permitted to graze
their cattle. The Mara is the home to the Kenya 's largest population
of Black-maned Lions and huge herds of Elephant, Buffalo, Wildebeest,
Burchell's Zebra, Gazelles and Topi can be seen along with the odd Leopard
or Cheetah. The Reserve bisected by the Mara River and its tributaries
providing a splendid variety of bird life and large concentration of Hippos
in the pools.
