MAASAI MARA
Located only three hundred kilometers from Nairobi, the Maasai Mara National Reserve offers no less than one thousand five hundred and ten square kilometers of wild open savanna. It plays host to one of the modern day Wonders of the world – the Great Migration.
All of the big five call the Maasai Mara home. It is relatively easy to spot a lion in the Mara.
The beautiful Maasai people continue to graze their livestock in the wilderness – right alongside the wild beasts they have lived with for thousands of years. The Maasai Mara is part of an extensive eco system made up of eight large group ranches.
Mornings in the Maasai Mara are punctuated by the songs of more than 450 species of birds.
Best of all, Maasai Mara can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
There is more than one way to experience Maasai Mara. Visitors choose between a game drive, a guided walk, a hot air balloon ride, a visit to a Maasai village, and even a wilderness Marathon.
At Kiboko Kenya Safaris we usually give our guests the options to choose whether to go to Masai mara by road or by air.
In a nutshell, this is what the Mara has to offer:
Over 470 bird species, Elephant, Giraffe, Gazelle, Hippo, Hyrax, Agama, Chameleon, Hartebeest, Baboon, Crocodile, Foxes, Black Rhino, Bush Baby, Tortoise, Porcupine, Dik Dik, Leopard, Mongoose, Lion, Serval Cat, Hyena, Thompson Gazelle, Topi, Wildebeest, Velvet Monkey, Bushbuck, Zebra and many more.
