Kenya is a country in East Africa and among the most visited countries on the continent. The country boasts a diverse range of captivating tourist attractions that cater to both nature enthusiasts and cultural explorers.
Masai Mara National Reserve
The reserve is situated in the south-western region of the country and is a large and picturesque landscape of gently rolling African savannah plains covering an area of 1510 square kilometres. Masai Mara National Reserve shares its border with Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the south.
Masai Mara is famous for its remarkable natural diversity and stands as a unique haven for wildlife conservation and is known for being one of the best safari destinations in East Africa. This animal paradise beckons visitors with a multitude of reasons to explore its wonders.
The reserve is among the best safari destinations in Africa from where one can enjoy the best wildlife-watching experience. The Mara Eco-system not only provides opportunities to watch Africa’s famous fauna but also presents ideal conditions for capturing impressive photos and videos.
Game drives in the reserve are done all year round and the drives take you to areas where there is the highest concentration of wildlife in the reserve.
The game drive is done in a standard 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof that offers better wildlife watching. The game drive is done in the morning from 6 am to 12 am and then head to the lodge or campsite for lunch. Afternoon game drives commence at 2:00 pm and extend until 6:30 pm, offering optimal chances to witness wildlife congregating at watering holes to quench their thirst.
From June to November, the Maasai Mara hosts one of the most amazing wildlife phenomena on the planet. Thousands of wildebeest, Thompson’s Gazelles, and zebras embark on a journey across the Mara River, traversing from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park to the Maasai Mara in pursuit of lusher pastures.
This migration, however, is fraught with challenges. In addition to the ever-present threat of predatory pursuits, the migrating animals must brave the crocodile-infested waters of the Mara River, where some drown and some become prey to the crocodiles.
Seat in a safari 4×4 vehicle, then try an aerial view of the large Maasai Mara plains in a memorable experience – particularly do it in the months of June and November when the Great wildebeest migration is in place.
The hot air balloon trip follows the Mara River, providing a unique aerial view of lush forests, diverse bird life, and water-loving mammals. Venture further into the savannah to witness breath-taking landscapes.
This one-hour adventure ends with a delightful picnic lunch or breakfast, accompanied by champagne, set against the picturesque backdrop of the savannah plains. The hot air balloon safari in Masai Mara Game Reserve is a perfect experience for families, couples, and honeymooners alike.
It also offers a chance to capture the beauty of this amazing destination with fantastic photo opportunities throughout the excursion.
