Masai Mara Game Reserve - Masai Mara Game Reserve - TravBuddy

The Masai Mara Game Reserve in Southern Kenya is one of Africa's premier wildlife parks, and is home to much of Africa's charasmatic megafauna, including the fabled 'big five.' The wildlife of the region is sure to have an impact on any visitor who is used to seeing these animals in zoological parks, and doesn't quite understand the feeling of having an bull elephant charge your land rover, or watching a lion devour an antelope carcass. These experiences stay with you for life. Although wildlife viewings and game drives are the main attractions here, I would highly recommend that anyone travelling to the Mara, get to know some the Masai people. Although i always try and get to know locals whenever I travel, I found it easier than normal in the Mara. The conversations I had with several of the Masai have become just as much a part of my travel experince as anything else.
