  • The Mara Game Reserve is one of the greatest wildernesses in the world. Large mammals are varied and easy to see. Residents of the park include Masai giraffes, buffalos, elands, and thousands of plains game, including impalas, zebras, topis, and both Thomson's and Grant's gazelles. The animals of the Masai Mara are the stars of the show, providing drama and intrigue against a backdrop of spectacular scenery. You might notice a Masai Moran herding hundreds of cows, shepherding goats and sheep while holding a single stick or a spear - that's their way of living.
