Masai Mara National Reserve is considered a “must-see” for any visitor traveling on safari in Kenya. It is on the “to-do” list of most Kenyan visitors because the park is graced by a wide variety of unique and exquisite wildlife and birds. Maasai Mara is the best place to see all of the “Big Five” animals (elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo) together.
