Maasai Mara National Reserve

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is located in Narok County, Kenya, contiguous with the Serengeti National Park, and named in honour of the Maasai people who inhabit these regions. It is famous for its exceptional population of lions, leopards and cheetahs, and the annual migration of zebra, Thomson's gazelle, and wildebeest to and from the Serengeti every year from July to October, known as the The Great Migration.
The Maasai Mara reserve is relatively small yet it hosts an amazing concentration of wildlife. The park is home to some 95 species of mammals, amphibians and reptiles and over 400 bird species. The big five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino) is abound throughout the park as do leopards, cheetah, hyenas, giraffe, impala, wildebeest, topi, baboons, warthogs, buffalo, zebra, elephants, hippos and crocodiles in the Mara River.
