We at Zootopia Adventures have been organizing safaris in Kenya for several tourists over the years and have discovered 5 reasons why most of our clients prefer a Maasai mara safari or adding the park to their itinerary.
1- Great migration – Maasai mara park and Serengeti are the only two destinations in Africa where you can witness the infamous great migration, one of the best wildlife phenomenal on earth. Thousands of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and other antelope species cross through from Masai Mara to Serengeti in search of fresh grass and water meeting land & water predators along the route. Getting close-up view of the migration is one of the best wildlife experiences in Kenya , one to be treasured.
2- Wildlife Diversity – When it comes to the perfect wildlife mix, no Kenya safari park can compare to Masai mara. Home to the Big Five and up to 470 bird species , there is no denying any wildlife enthusiast will have a great experience. Other popular animals include the wildebeests, zebras, cheetahs, jackals, hippos, crocodiles, Masai giraffe among other notable ones.
3- Maasai People – The original inhabitants of the Masai plains and one of the most popular ethnic groups in East Africa, the Maasai or simply Masai hold the flag when it comes to representing the park , after-all the park was named after them.
