The Maasai Mara Game
Reserve is Kenya’s,
if not the world’s most famous game reserve.
It is the northernmost extension of the vast
Serengeti Plains. The Mara covers an area of
645 square miles. During the annual migrations,
the Mara is home to almost 2.5 million herbivores
together with smaller species – 1.4 million
wildebeest, 550,000 gazelle, 200,000 zebra,
62,000 buffalo, 64,000 impala, 60,000 topi,
7,500 hartebeest, 7,100 giraffe, 3,000 eland
and 4,000 elephant. There are also plenty of
hippo, rhino and warthog. In addition there
are the predators – lion, leopard, cheetah,
hyena, wild dog and jackal – and many
small mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects.
It is truly the greatest collection of animals
in the world. Your accommodations are in what
is known as the Mara Triangle, a unique allocation
of territory in the middle of the Maasai Mara,
granted by the Maasai tribe.
