Vast, rolling plains, seemingly miles of visibility, disclosing dark moving shapes which are, in fact, distant elephants, and tall skinny bodies which, on closer inspection, reveal giraffe necks as they scour tree branches. Kenya is where “safari” was born, and the Masai Mara is, far and away, Kenya’s best. The Mara is huge and alive with animals, birds, and tenacious savannah vegetation. Crosshatched with safari dirt tracks whose route map is known only to the expert driver guides, the Masai Mara is a visual challenge: anywhere you will present a fascinating wildlife drama. “Safari” is Swahili for “travel,” As you safari through the 600 square miles of this protected reserve, your travel takes you through an ancient, elemental world. Prey and predator. Life and death. Nature’s balancing acts play out daily in the savannah, acacia woodlands, and forested riverbanks.
You’ll hear the phrase “Big 5″ bandied about, and, of course, they’ll top your game viewing list as well: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. The chances are good. You’ll see them all here. And more, much, much more. Wildebeest and zebra in migratory motion, Thomson’s gazelle and eland, hartebeest, topi, ostrich, cheetah, jackal, and hyena – and that’s only a scattering of the ground-level denizens. Eagles soar, vulture circle, secretary birds strut, posture, blue-necked guinea fowl root, hippos, and crocs share an easy riverbed truce – one in noisy, splashing groups, the other as silent statues surviving from prehistoric times.
Nomadic Masai tribe members, grazing their cattle and goats outside the park, present slender scarlet silhouettes. They believe Red is a color feared by predators, and their bravery in protecting their herds is legendary.
