Kenya:

The Maasai Mara Game Reserve is considered to be Africa’s greatest wildlife reserve.The maasai mara game reserve is rated the 4th(forth) best tourist destination in the world and lately named the 7th(seventh) wonder of the world by the ABC.It is located in the South Western part of Kenya.The maasai Mara and the Serengeti plains covers 10,000 sq miles of open plains, woodlands and riverine forest. Maasai Mara is usually referred to as "The Mara"which in the Maasai word means patchy landscape.The spelling of "Masai" and "Maasai"are both acceptable,the latter refers to the people.The Masai Mara is both referred to as a Game Reserve and a National Reserve. It is also treated as a National Park.This is because masai mara is managed both by the local authority and the Kenya wildlife service. Reserves allow camp sites,lodges and the settlement of local tribes people with their cattle ,while the National Parks are normally managed centrally and do not allow human inhabitation apart from people on safari and park rangers in the parks.Both management co-exist in the Mara.The Mara is an awesome natural wonder, a place where Maasai warriors share the plains with hunting lions, a place of mighty herds and timeless cycles of life, death and regeneration.It spreads into the plains of Serengeti National Reserve in Tanzania.The Loita Hills and the Nguruman Escarpment, both considered sacred to the Maasai, offer high forest trekking opportunities for the adventurous traveler.
