Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp Game Viewing

The Masai Mara is widely regarded to be Africa's greatest wildlife reserve. It boasts 200 sq miles of open plains, woodlands and forest, teeming with wildlife. Contiguous with the Serengeti plains, the reserve is home to a breathtaking array of life. The vast grassland plains are scattered with herds of zebra, giraffe, gazelle and topi, birdlife, monkeys, elephants and buffalo. The Mara and Talek rivers brim with crocodiles and hippos. Each year the Masai Mara hosts the world's greatest natural spectacle, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti. From July to October, the promise of rain and fresh grass on in the Mara attracts more than 1.3 million wildebeest together in a single massive herd. At the Mara River they mass together on the banks before plunging forward through the raging waters, fighting against the currents and waiting crocodiles. The famous black-mane Mara lions roam the plains and are possibly the stars of the Mara show. In earlier times the Masai were renowned lion killers and it is said that if lions scent approaching Masai on the breeze they move swiftly in the opposite direction.
