Africa lion tours safari of Maasai Mara
Kenya’s flagship conservation area and one of Africa’s best safari destinations is the Maasai Mara National Reserve and its neighboring conservancies. Elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, hyena, and Mara’s iconic big cats: lion, leopard, and cheetah, are among the creatures that call the Mara home. The Mara is also a much-welcomed pit break for continuous herds of wildebeest who follow the rains on their death-defying 2 900-kilometer (1 800-mile) circular journey between August and November every year. Every year, thousands of travelers pay a visit to the Mara to experience some of Africa’s most authentic safari experiences.
Because of its varied landscapes, large open spaces, moderate climate, and diverse population of resident animals, game viewing in the Maasai Mara is good all year. Safari heavyweights like lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo and popular species like zebra, giraffe, hyena, eland, and gazelle call its champagne-colored savannahs home. Rhino sightings are rare, but if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of one in the Mara Triangle. The Mara is known for its extraordinary big cat sightings (lion, leopard, and cheetah). Cheetahs have adapted well to the region’s flat plains, making the Maasai Mara one of the greatest sites to witness these swift predators. They frequent fallen trees, termite mounds, and even game drive vehicles for vantage spots.
Maasai Mara game reserve hosts over 10 feelings of pride of lions, if not more. The African lion in Maasai Mara is famous for its black mane, and the hair will usually be golden in the African lion’s youth, turning black as it advances in age.
