The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya’s best wildlife park. It was established in 1961 primarily, to protect wildlife from hunters, as illegal poaching took its toll in the region. Tourists come to Kenya to visit Masai Mara. Its beauty and abundant wildlife has continued to awestruck the visitors looking for the ultimate wildlife experience. The Masai Mara is located in Southwestern Kenya, on Tanzanian border. The wildlife reserve is in the Rift Valley with Tanzania’s Serengeti Plains running along its southern end. The Mara River runs through the reserve, the perfect spot for a number of hippopotamus and crocodiles. It naturally hosts the annual migration of over a million wild beasts and zebras. Masai Mara is made up of grasslands primarily because of abundant rainfall every year between Novemeber and June.
