Sentrim Mara
The Maasai Mara is a large game reserve in South-West Kenya. The name is derived from the Maasai people and the Mara river which divides it into eastern and western parts. The extensive savanna grassland in between the rolling hills hosts a large variety of wild animals. Every year about 2.5 million wildebeests and hundred thousands of zebras wander through the Maasai Mara between the months of June and October on their Great Migration between the Serengeti national park in Tanzania and Maasai Mara in Kenya. This spectacle has recently been declared the 7th natural world wonder. Masai Mara is a permanent home to lions, leopards, cheetahs, black rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, antelopes and around 400 species of birds among many others.
