Mara"), recently designated as one of the new Seven Wonders of the
World. The Masai Mara animal Migration Safari promises you a

Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya:
The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya's finest wildlife reserve.
Everything about this reserve is outstanding. The wildlife is
abundant and the gentle rolling grasslands ensure that animals are
never out of sight. Birds, too, are prolific. Including migrants,
well over 450 species have been recorded, among them, 57 species of
birds of prey. The climate is gentle, rarely too hot and well-spread
rainfall year round. Rain, when it falls almost always chooses the
late afternoon or night. Between July and October, when the great
wildebeest migration is in the Masai Mara National Reserve, the
sensation is unparalleled. Masai Mara is one of the best plains'
game reserve where you can actually encounter a live Discovery
Channel, a haven for viewing a congregation of all sorts of animals
in a five-mile radius: A pride of lions can be spotted ready to make
a run for a gazelle, a cheetah and its cub taking a nap on a rock, a
pair of ostriches walking the open stretches of the savannah or a
gazelle giving birth.
The Masai Mara National Reserve lies about 270 kilometers from
Nairobi, and takes about 4 to 5 hours by road. There are scheduled
flights, twice daily from Wilson Airport Nairobi, which take about
40 - 45 minutes. The reserve is about 1510 square kilometers having
been reduced from 1672 square kilometers in 1984. However, the
wildlife is far from being confined within the reserve boundaries,
and an even larger area, generally referred to as the "dispersal
area" extends north and east of the Masai Mara National Reserve.
Maasai communities live within the dispersal area with their stock
but a century of close association with the wildlife has resulted in
an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and people live in
peace with one another. The first sight of this natural wonderland
is breathtaking. Here the great herds of shuffling elephants browse
among the rich tree-studded grasslands with an occasional sighting
of a solitary and ill-tempered rhino.
Thomson's and Grant's gazelle, Topi and Eland and many more species
of plains' game offer a rich choice of food for the dominant
predators; lion, leopard and cheetah which hunt in this pristine
wilderness. In the Mara River, hippo submerges at the approach of a
vehicle only to surface seconds later to snort and grumble their
displeasure. Seemingly, the drowsy crocodile sunbathe on the
riverbanks, mouth agape, waiting with subtle cunning for prey at
which to strike with lightning swiftness. But this richness of
fauna, this profusion of winged beauty and the untouched fragility
of the landscape, are all subordinate to the Mara's foremost
attraction, the march of the wildebeest.
Each year, far south in the great vastness of the Serengeti, the
wildebeest raise their dignified but quaint heads, sniff the air
and, as if by one accord, start the long trek to the Kenya border
and the Masai Mara National Reserve. After exhausting the grazing in
Tanzania's northern Serengeti, a large number of wildebeest and
zebra enter the Masai Mara National Reserve around the end of June
drawn by the sweet grass raised by the long rains of April and May.
It is estimated that more than half a million wildebeest enter the
Masai Mara National Reserve and are joined by another 100,000 from
the Loita Hills east of the Masai Mara. Driving in the midst of
these great herds is an unimaginable experience. Whilst the eyes
feast on the spectacle, the air carries the smells, the dust and the
sounds of hundreds of thousands of animals. There is nowhere else on
earth to compare with this wildlife marvel. But the trek is costly.
The herds' draw ravening packs of predators, especially hyenas and
lions, and thousands of the lame, laggard and sick never complete
the cycle. More die, by drowning or by the teeth of the cunning
crocodile, while trying to cross the swirling muddy waters of the
Mara and Talek rivers. Once the Masai Mara National Reserve's grass
has been devoured and when fresh rain in Tanzania has brought forth
a new flush there, the herds turn south, heading hundreds of
kilometers back to Serengeti and the Ngorongoro plains. There the
young are dropped in time to grow sufficiently strong to undertake
the long march north six months later.
Although July, August and September are the months when the Masai
Mara plains are filled with migrating wildebeest and zebra, there is
much resident wildlife year round. Apart from the better-known
species there are numerous opportunities to add some of the rare and
less frequently seen animals to the visitor's checklist. In the
southwestern sector, you may be lucky enough to see roan antelope, a
handsome creature regrettably rare countrywide. Bat-eared foxes peer
from their burrows and there are thousands of topi, an antelope not
found in other major parks save Tsavo National Park. The combination
of a gentle climate, scenic splendor and untold numbers of wildlife
makes the Masai Mara Kenya's most popular inland destination park.
A well worth it and recommended activity in the Masai Mara National
Reserve is the hot air balloon safari. Early in the morning, you
will be woken and driven to the departure site. Once in the air, the
view of the surrounding landscape, the rising of the sun between the
mountains and the congregation of the animals at the river is
beautiful. This all concludes with a champagne breakfast and
memories of a lifetime.

Masai Mara National Reserve: Masai Mara Lodges & Camps Reviews:
Masai Mara Balloon Safaris.
Close your eyes, and for a moment feel your body lift up, with you
having no control over it, and there is a certain part of you,
inside you, saying to yourself, I am crazy for taking this balloon
safari. This is what most people feel, when the excitement of a
Masai Mara hot air balloon safari crosses one's emotion of
self-control and independence.
More about Masai Mara Balloon Safari in Kenya:
The feeling is indescribable, crispness of the African air, chill in
the wind that hits your face as your Mara hot air balloon gradually
rises, smoothness in the exhale of your breath, and the excitement
to see and learn more. One's physical presence can be felt on the
plains of the Masai Mara when reading this.
You trip begins when you get your wake up call at your safari lodge
or tented camp in the early hours of the morning, as you yawn away,
and thoughts about your wildlife viewing from an elevated position
begins to stir your mind. The fresh Kenyan traditional hot tea and
coffee quickly awaken you, in fact preparing you for a "mission".
By 6.00 a.m. you are almost arriving at the hot air balloon site in
the Masai Mara. As you approach the site, the balloon seems bigger
than you expected, the experience is one that has never been
visited, and you are about to have a trip of a lifetime.
Liftoff! Up and away we go! At 6.15 a.m., the hot air balloon safari
starts. The captain asks you to relax and experience the wonders
under the African sky. As you finally start to get a grip on the
elevation, an inner smile that resonates on one's face does not need
an explanation. The wildebeest moving in large numbers across the
Masai Mara plains, the beauty of the landscape when the rising sun's
bright orange colors are displayed, the elephants at the water pool,
and the gazelles and zebras scampering away, just if it was their
first time to witness an alien object in the sky.
By 7.15 a.m., one is very content with balloon safari, and it is
almost touch down time. There is a celebration, and for those who
prefer a toast, champagne is served, as hot breakfast in the bush is
being prepared. You ask yourself, is this true? I am really doing
this trip of a lifetime in Kenya? In the Masai Mara? As the
sweetness and aroma of the African coffee surrounds you, with fresh
eggs being served as you like it, you hope for another ride, and
wish that such luxury never ended. By the time you finish your
breakfast, you have made up your decision to immigrate to Kenya
because such life is only found here. You begin to question
yourself, and you feel an urgency to seek, live and enjoy this
pristine beauty, a once in a lifetime "thing".
By 9.00 a.m., you have been declared a champion, a mighty
certificate of completion handed out to you which you hope to
display in your home country, to family, friends, coworkers.
Clapping and participation by everyone present makes you proud to
have achieved a trip as wonderful as this. By then you hear a
blaring sound of music or even an annoying buzz, you turn around and
switch of the alarm clock. Your eyes wide open, you know that you
have to get back to Kenya, to Masai Mara, again otherwise the
recurring dreams will drive you mad.
