Masai Mara National Reserve is situated within the Great Rift Valley in the Southern part of Kenya. Measuring approximately 1510sq. kilometres (approx. 938sq. miles) in size, this unfenced savannah grassland is roughly 150 miles southeast of Nairobi.
The park has the largest concentration of African lions, including the black-maned lion. Birdlife is as plentiful as wildlife at the Masai Mara, which boasts over 400 different birds species.
The park experiences a hot and dry climate with a regular rainfall season twice a year. The reserve’s topography is mainly open savannah (grassland) with clusters of acacia trees along the southeastern area of the park. The Mara and Talek rivers grace the rolling plains of the reserve.
Lake Nakuru National Park is a great spectacle when it comes to bird lovers who want to experience the great multitude of species of birds available in the East African Safari circuit. This combined with the world renowned Masai Mara always makes a great safari combination to have the best of birds and wildlife experience.
