Aug 6th-13th – MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE
Each day features early morning and afternoon game drives in the Masai
Mara – the world’s most renowned location for wildlife photography.
Established in 1961, the Masai Mara National Reserve is unparalleled as a
wildlife reserve in Kenya, and ranks as one of the world’s outstanding
wildlife sanctuaries. In the outer regions of the reserve the local
Masai, dressed in their traditional fashion, graze their cattle
alongside the plains game. In the river, hippopotamus and crocodiles
bask near the shore. Herds of elephants roam across the plains and a
variety of colorful birds fill the sky. Cape buffalo are here in great
numbers as are Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelle, impala, topi, and Coke’s
hartebeest. Giraffe, eland, bushbuck and the big cats (lion, cheetah
and leopard) all live permanently within the reserve. At this time of
year the massive herds of zebra and wildebeest will also be present in
the Masai Mara for their yearly migration crossing the Masai River. We
will make two early morning visits to the Masai Tribe’s village to
photograph the traditional dances and rituals of these extraordinary
people. (BLD)
