MAASAI MARA LAKE NAKURU: 4 DAYS/3 NIGHTS
Maasai Mara is probably the most famous
and most visited reserve in Kenya. It offers breathtaking
views (seen in the film 'Out of Africa', much of which
was filmed here) an extraordinary density of animals
including the "Big Five" and many varieties
of plain game.
An impressive feature is the annual migration
of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle from the plains of
the Serengeti that cross the Tanzanian border and rivers
to reach the Mara's lush grassland from late June, hunted
by the predators: lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and
circled by vultures as the journey unfolds.
Their dramatic river crossings are a reality
for tourists visiting in July - August.

Mara is justly one of the best-known wildlife areas
in Kenya. Here the herds of elephants browse amongst
rich studded grasslands.
Thompson's gazelle, zebra, eland and many
more species of Savannah game offer a rich choice for
predatory lions, leopards and cheetahs. But even this
richness of fauna and untouched life of Africa; continuing
as it has for thousands of years, is secondary to the
Mara; s annual migration of wildebeest.
