Masai Mara National Park

Even more striking are its enormous, rolling savannahs that are pulsating with massive, stomping herds. Welcome to the richest ecosystem in this part of Africa, Masai Mara National Reserve. Here is the starting point of the Great Migration, which is the world's largest yearly migration of over two million animals on a mission to survive. There isn't a safari that can compare to this breathtaking display of untamed nature in such large quantities. However, the abundance of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles in the Mara is not limited to this. This is a land of predators as well; many lion prides call it home, and other carnivores such as jackals, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards scour this ancient territory for potential prey.

Attractions

The breathtaking scenery, varied wildlife, and distinctive Maasai culture of the Masai Mara National Reserve have made it famous worldwide. The yearly migration of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles from Tanzania's Serengeti plains to the Masai Mara in search of better pastures is what makes the reserve most well-known. The Masai Mara is a popular safari destination because it is home to the famous "Big Five" game animals: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos. In addition to seeing wildlife, tourists can fully experience Maasai culture by visiting nearby villages, learning about customs, and buying handcrafted goods.
