Game Viewing

The Masai Mara is Africa' s most famous reserve. Gazelle, wildebeest and zebra which graze in large numbers are preyed on by cheetah and leopard. It is however, the black-maned Mara lion who is the star of the show. Elephant, buffalo, kongoni, topi, waterbuck and primates are also found on the wide green gold savannahs of the Masai Mara. The Mara is home to the northern end of the wildebeest migration – that great surge of wildebeest, zebra and antelope who sweep in from Tanzania' s Serengeti. Large predators pick off their weak and young as they journey across the Mara. Long after the massive herds of wildebeest and zebra have passed, the plains are still home to an abundant of wildlife.
