Masai Mara Safari
There are many exciting and beautiful game parks in Kenya each
unique in its own way. No park can claim superiority, but it is
generally agreed that for a 2 or 3 day safari, the Masai Mara offers
wonderful variety of animals. It is also the only park with regular
daily balloon flights.
The Masai Mara is over 800 kilometres from the coast and covers
1,700 square kilometres, consisting largely of well watered
grassland with two permanent rivers, namely the Mara and Talek.
A pleasant green world of lush grass plains at an altitude of 5,000
feet, the Mara is cool in the morning and warm by day. Riverine
woodland follows the river courses. The hills in the south east of
the reserve are covered with forest. The Mara represents un-spoilt
Africa, and teems with wildlife. Karen Blixen, world famous author,
of “Out of Africa” visited by oxcart in 1912 and wrote “The air of the
African highlands went into my head like wine and I was all the time
slightly drunk with it. The joy of those months in the Mara was
indescribable”.
For a two or three days safari, in one game reserve, the Masai
Mara is therefore, the best value for all year round excellent game
viewing. During the annual migration of Wildbeest and Zebra, one
million or more animals pass through the Mara between July and
September in one of the world’s greatest wildlife spectacles.
Fly close to the snow capped peak of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro at
19,208 feet the tallest mountain in Africa, and the largest free
standing mountain by land mass in the world.
Fly over the dry salt pan of Lake Amboseli, and then shortly after
fly across the mighty fault line of the Great Rift Valley with views of
the Soda Lakes Natron in Tanzania and Magadi in Kenya.
Arrive in the Mara in time for a leisurely check-in and lunch.
