Masai Mara National Park

Masai Mara. It is a recognized reserve that is supported by the magnificent Esoit Oloololo Escapement, irrigated by the Mara River, and home to an incredible variety of species. It is the northern extension of the equivalent agglomeration of the Narok, and it encompasses 1510 sq km of open, undulating grasslands.

The reserve’s western edge normally has the highest concentration of species, although better roads drive most tourists to the reserve’s eastern side.

Lions are found in enormous prides all throughout the world, and it is usual to watch them hunting. Leopards and cheetahs are fairly abundant but less obvious. There are also many of elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and hippos.

The black-striped Thomson’s gazelle and the larger Grant’s gazelle are the most common antelopes, however impalas, topis, Coke’s hartebeests, and wildebeests aren’t far behind in terms of population size.

Masai giraffes, baboons, warthogs, jackals, bat-eared foxes, and matriarchal clans of spotted hyenas are some more prevalent creatures. The few hundred black rhinos are exceedingly elusive and difficult to spot.

The yearly migration of wildebeests in July and August is without a doubt the main draw, though it occasionally continues into early October.

When millions of these awkward animals go from the Serengeti to the north in search of greener grass before turning south around October.

It is a mind-boggling sensation even though you are more likely to see countless columns grazing or walking along than dramatic river fordings like on TV.
