The Mara is the northern extension of the Serengeti, and its rolling plains are home to hundreds of plains game together with predators that feed on them. Considered by many to be Kenya's finest game reserve, the 650 square miles of the Masai Mara adjoin Tanzania's well-known Serengeti, forming one ecosystem. The open rolling savannah grassland of the Mara is the home of wildlife, including elephant, rhino, lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena, jackal, buffalo, eland, topi, impala, gazelle, warthog, and zebra. From June to September, the annual wildebeest migration takes place when thousands of these animals sweep across the plain and seek out new grazing areas. Your overnight stay will be at Mara Sopa Lodge.
