If you are touring Kenya you cannot miss Maasai Mara National Reserve because it has the largest game reserve in Kenya and in Narok and Trans Mara counties combined with Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. The reserve is named to facilitate the Maasai tribe of Africa, and ancestral natives of the area, who originally migrated from Nile Basin. When they spotted the new habitat it looked like as it is spotted, depicting the bushy trees that dot over the land. Mara means spotted in Maasai language. This game reserve is one of the most significant conservation of wildlife in Africa and it is renowned throughout the world for its lion population, African bush elephant, leopard, and cheetah. This area also hosts the Great Migration which starts from Serengeti National Park of Tanzania and ends in Maasai Mara Kenya. Millions of wildebeests along with zebra, eland, Thomson Gazelle cross the Serengeti River and march toward Maasai Mara National Park. This is called as one of the 7 natural wonders of Africa and 10 natural wonders of the world. Kenya flying tours will help you see this spectacular event from bird’s eye view and the coverage spans an area of 586 square miles.

The exodus happens when the Serengeti River dries up and the wildebeests along with others start the trek to Mara River in search of water. The animals will tread back to Serengeti once the rains start coming in September. Guided African tours that include the flying over the great migration will be the most ideal to choose from. You will also need to arrange for airport and hotel transfers if you are going to camp here to witness the great journey.

Your African safari can combine both Kenya and Tanzania tours as they are adjacently placed countries and share almost the same geographical features and topography. If Kenya has Mt Kenya then Tanzania has Mt Kilimanjaro, whose peaks are covered with snow and climbing the summit is not so hard exercise.

Greatest attraction of African safaris include the horde of wildlife species that include both animals, birds and reptiles and more than 200 species of wildlife is waiting to be seen in Kenya and Tanzania. However arranging the tour also involves arranging hotel accommodation and if you are on the luxury side you can certainly book a room or suite at the Hemingways, Nairobi.
