Virtually everyone who visits Kenya goes to this
320-sq. km. of open grassland dotted with
flat-topped acacia trees. A visit to Mara is
truly a staggering one, and which is likely to
have a profound effect on your own feeling of
insignificance. This is the Kenyan section of
the Serengeti and animals are in abundant. All
year round, the Masai Mara, a living tapestry of
grassy savanna, spreading thorn trees, rounded
hills and tall gallery forests with its abundant
wild life draw hundreds of thousands of
photographers and visitors from all over the
world. The Mara is home to millions of wild game
such as wildebeest and gazelle among others and
are continuously tracked by Africa's great
predators. The annual migration of these animals
is one of the most inspiring sights on earth,
and this is the dramatic life and death struggle
that tourists come to see. Other animals seen
are lion, elephant, cheeter, leopard, zebra,
antelope, impala, Thomson gazelle, topi,
giraffe, baboon, jackal, warthog, rhino and
hyena.
A visit to the Masai village, located inside the
reserve. This is a cultural village of the Masai
tribe's people and it is an ideal place to take
video pictures, buy trinkets and beadwork.
Ballooning Safaris, Hot-air ballooning at dawn
as you drift quietly, is the best way of viewing

intrusion of vehicles and the dozens of
tourists.
