Covering an area of over 1,500 square km, the Masai Mara National Park is one of the most popular tourism destinations in Kenya. Mara  ia  the  home  of  ancient African Worriers, the  Maasai. Together with  the  adjoining   Serengeti  National Park in  Tanzania to  the  south , they  make the  home to  a  huge  population  of  elephant, hippo, buffalo, giraffe, gazelle and impala. Predators are  plentiful  especially  the  cheeteh, crocodile, leopard and  lion. Bird  life  is  abundant with  450  species having  been  recorded.

Attractions

A  grand  spectacle to  be  seen  at  least once in  a  lifetime  is  the  annual  migration  of  wildebeest. More  than  1.5 million wildebeest  accompanied  by Zebras  march  to  Maasai Mara  from  Serengeti in July, forming  a  single  column extending tens  of  kilometers, where  they  remain  till  october  when  they begin  to   trek  southbound, back  to  Serengeti. Among  the  wildlife sanctuaries  of  the  world Maasai Mara is  considred by  many  visitors to  be  the  most pisturesque. Balloon safaris are  one  of  the  unique  features  of  the  Mara giving the  traveller  an  everlasting  memory of  this  great  country.
