Nakuru-Masai Mara
Nakuru-Masai Mara Safari Itineraries Options
Masai mara (2000m) is so far the best animal reserve in Kenya being an extension of the Serengeti plains in Tanzania. It is a field of grasslands and a few dotted shrubs and this makes it the best place for game viewing. During a season like July, the grasslands will be covered by millions of migrating animals and the hunting drama is likely to witness. To see here are the lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, elephants, topi, zebra, giraffe, impalas, buffalo among many more.
Lake Nakuru is a bird watcher’s paradise and it is better known for its flamingoes. There are however lots of other birds species in the Park. It is also home to a good population of both white and black rhinos. Other animals to see in the park include impalas, baboons, buffalos, giraffes, lions, waterbucks amongst others.
