Maasai Mara National Park | Maasai National Reserv

Maasai Mara National Park | Maasai National Reserv: "Maasai National Park / Reserve / Maasai Mara Migration / Accommodation Lodges

The Maasai Mara National Park also called Masai Mara National Reserve is in a class of its own. Once described as “Kenya’s Jewel never to be lost”, the best known wildlife sanctuary in the World Maasai (Masai) Mara National Park or Reserve has acquired a high flier status having been named “the seventh wonder of the world”. The seventh wonder of the world is annual spectacle of the wildebeest migration between Maasai (Masai) Mara and Serengeti. The richness of Maasai Mara is indeed immense. Supporting about 237 herbivores per Km2, the Mara ecosystem has one of the richest assemblage of wildlife in the world. It is the most visited destination in Eastern Africa. Maasai Mara is not about the wildlife in the reserve alone but also the local Maasai community. The local Maasai have developed group conservancies to tap the earnings of the tourism industry. Though a good venture, if development in these conservancies is not checked, it will lead to eventual death of Maasai Mara."
