QUICK FACTS ABOUT MAASAI MARA
It is situated in the
South-West of Kenya.
This is undisputedly one of Africa’s best known and Kenya’s most famous wildlife destination. It is a must visit destination for almost every traveler coming to Kenya.Together with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, they form Africa’s most incredible, diverse and most spectacular eco-systems and possibly the world’s top safari big game viewing ecosystem.
The terrain is fairly a
classic savannah and has a fairly consistent landscape of open grasslands. This
makes it easy to spot wildlife and the Great Wildebeest Migration.
Maasai mara is wildly and
best known for the Great wildebeest migration which occurs annually between
July and September. During this time, close to 1.5 million wildebeest,
antelopes and zebra migrate from the Serengeti (Tanzania) to the Maasai Mara
(Kenya) in search of food and water. However, the migratory routes greatly
depend on the weather patterns and other factors.
The reserve also boasts
of around 500 bird species i.e., Ostrich, secretary bird, cranes, eagles,
marabou stock and vultures.
The Maa community is the largest community in
this geographical area. A visit to the Maasai village to learn more about their
culture and traditions will be a bonus and a great experience as you will
interact with the local Maasai community.
