Masai Mara

This game/national reserve often called the mara is around 1.9km² at an altitude of 1.500m-1.850m and with broad diversity of animal concentration ranging from 94 species of mammals and 452 types of birds. Among them are the big five: Lion, Rhino, Elephant, Leopard and Buffalo. As you may have seen in many nature programs about The Mara it has seemingly endless grassland, plains with a touch of hills on the eastern and western side of the park.

The Mara-river, which has water throughout the year, flows from the northern to the southern part. Gallery forests, the smallest vegetation type, borders parts of it and its tributaries. ‘The Mara Triangle’ is found on the west and is characterized by gradual hilly slopes from whose highest point there is a breathtaking view of the grassland. One of the amazing sites as seen in the movie out of Africa.
