Masai Mara is a nature reserve in southwestern Kenya, located near the Tanzanian border, 275 km from Nairobi. Together with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, Masai Mara forms one of Africa's largest and most diverse ecosystems. The Great Antelope Migration takes place here annually, which is a “trick” of both places.
During a trip to the reserve you will find a variety of wild animals: lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, antelopes, zebras, impals, gazelles, hippos, giraffes and many, many others . Opened in 1974, Masai Mara covers an area of 1,510 square meters. km of plains and forests and is the richest in Africa. You can visit Masai Mara during the year, but it is better to do this during the Great Migration from August to September. If you decide to visit Kenya, Masai Mara is a must visit.
The nearest settlement to Masai Mara is Naroka (125 km). From the capital of Nairobi, a distance of 267 km.
In the photo you can see the highest point of the continent - Kilimanjaro volcano. You can’t see him from Mamai Mara, so we recommend driving her to Ambozeli park in order to enjoy this beauty and try to make a similar shot.
