The Maasai Mara together with Tanzania’s Serengeti form Africa’s most famous wildlife park and ecosystem, The Maasai Mara National Reserve. The image of acacia trees dotting endless grass plains epitomizes Africa for many, then add a Maasai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conversation needs to go no further. The undeniable highlight of the Maasai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly the annual wildebeest migration traversing the vast plains of the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara. It is known to host the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. Large prides of lions, herds of elephants, as well as giraffes, gazelles and elands can also be spotted in the reserve. Aside from game drives, enjoy walking and guided safaris, traditional village visits to the local Maasai communities and hot-air ballooning over the Mara plains.
