MASAI MARA GAME RESERVE
The Masai Mara is regarded as the most favorite and is definitely
the most popular game reserve in Kenya, having over 140,000 visitors
per year. The reserve lies approx 270km west of Nairobi and covers
an area of approximately 1,510 sq km, bordering with the Serengeti
National Park in Tanzania. The landscaped is mostly open Savannah
grasslands and acacia shrubland. Starting any time from late July
the wildebeest follow the rains and grazing to the wide and open
grasslands of what has become known as "the Mara". They may be late,
but they will always make the trip, driven by dry conditions in the
Serengeti and led by the lightning and thunder to the north. Come
November they start the homeward leg, bound again for the Serengeti.
At this time of the year you will see a large number of lion, hippo,
crocodile and vultures all of which prey on the weak and young
migrating animals. Other game to be found in the Masai Mara at any
time of the year include; elephants, cheetahs, baboons, gazelles,
giraffes, jackals, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, water buffalo,
ostriches, and a large variety of antelope and birdlife.

NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK
Nairobi National Park is only 20 minutes drive from the city and is
ideal if you only have a stopover in the city and want to experience
some of Africa's game. Because of it's location, there are many
visitors, both tourists and residents but you are guaranteed to see
an abundance of game, seemingly unaware and unafraid of humans. The
elephant is the only one of the 'big five' not found here, but
leopard, lion, buffalo, rhino, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, antelope,
wildebeest, eland, zebra and Thompson's gazelle as well as many
other species are here in abundance.
At the western end of the park is an Animal Orphanage, dedicated to
young animals who are injured or deserted in the wild. Here they are
studied and cared for until they can be returned to the reserve.
There are no accommodation facilities within the park as it is
located so close to the city centre.
