Day 6 of 7 Days Kenya’s Finest Safari: Masai Mara National Reserve

The Masai Mara is Kenya’s finest wildlife sanctuary; everything about this reserve is outstanding. The wildlife is abundant and the gentle rolling grassland ensures that animals are never out of sight. Birds too are prolific, including migrant birds and 53 birds of prey species. The wildlife is far from being confined within the reserve boundaries and an even larger area, generally referred to as the ‘dispersal area’, extends north and east of the game reserve.

The first sight of this park is breathtaking. Here the great herds of shuffling elephants browse among the rich tree-studded grasslands with an occasional sighting of a solitary and ill-tempered rhino. Thousands of plains herbivores such as Thompson’s and Grant’s gazelle, topi, and eland offer a rich choice of food for the dominant predators: lion, leopard, and cheetah all hunt in this pristine wilderness.
