3-Day Maasai Mara Safari from Nairobi – All-Inclusive
Overview
Nearly all visitors possess some knowledge about this park and with good reason. From the Great Migration to it’s the Big Five; Maasai Mara is the place to be.
Covering a whopping 62,000 acres, this National Reserve has enough space to host almost every wildlife species in Kenya. The most interesting part about this Reserve is that it shares unfenced borders with a couple of conservancies, such as the Serengeti, found on the Kenya-Tanzania border.
As a matter of fact, the Great Wildebeest Migration (currently ranked among the Seven Wonders of the World) basically is a herd of Wildebeest crossing over the border to go to Serengeti following rain and fresh lush grass. Aside from that, as you take a safari drive through the park, you will have the pleasure of coming face to face with the King of the Jungle, the lions.
As a plus, before entering the park, you are bound to run into Giraffes and zebras roaming around. Let’s find out more about this outstanding reserve.
