The reserve is characterized with vast acacia-dotted plains cut by ox-bow lakes, spectacular escarpments where the movie ‘Out of Africa’ was acted. This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains famously known for its spectacular great wildebeest’s migration and is home of the Big Five: Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Buffalo and Rhino. The Mara Game Reserve is one of the greatest wildernesses of the world. Large mammals are varied, and easy to see.

The animals of the Masai Mara are the star of the show, providing drama and intrigue against a backdrop of spectacular scenery. You might notice a Masai Moran standing on one foot herding hundreds of cow or shepherding goats and sheep holding a single stick or a spear, that’s their way of living.
