rich faunal diversity, fulfilling the expectations of any visitor
searching the African landscape for the BIG 5. Located west of the Great
Rift Valley, Mara is a natural extension of the Serengeti plains in the
neighbouring Tanzania. The Mara River, the reserve’s backbone traverses
north to south. This course is the natural barrier crossed each year by
large migratory heard of wildebeest and zebra which march across the two
parks in search of pasture, crossing en route, the crocodile infested Mara
River. Coupled with ever watchful predatory cats in the midst, the annual
