MAASAI MARA THE BEST PLACE FOR A HOLIDAY VACASION
Kenya as a nation has diverse and attractive scenes, from the tropical forest, waterfalls, savanna,
mountains and the ocean. However, the one place that stands out among them all is the Maasai- Mara
Game Reserve. Situated at the Great Riftvalley, the Maasai Mara covers an area of 450,000square kilometer
of full of wild animals and attractive and beautiful scenery. Between August-December, it gets the world
attention when the wild beasts are migrating from Maasai-mara to Serengeti in Tanzania. Tourist flocks in
thousands as the scenes unfold. It was declared the 10th world wonder by Forbes magazine, and why not? It
is a sight to behold. The scenes unfolds when the lions and other cats crouches from a distance to get a
catch of the wildbeast.The hippos and crocodiles are not left behind as they lay wait in the river. The wild
beast migration has captured the world attention for many years and has been the show to watch in
national geography and other leading animal broadcaster television. It has captured the attention of film
makers and photographers as well.
Besides all this, the Maasai Mara is quite affordable even by the local, where you sometimes have to part
away with 20$ with your own automobile to get to the park. Many local tourist flocks into the park in
hundreds to take advantage of a local natural treasure.
To add on this, Maasai-mara has a lot of hotels and reserves offering a wide variety of foodstuff including
local delicacies as mukimo, to fish and crabs and all kinds of refreshments. Many of these reserves offer
night camp, to give that sense of camping and adventure, while others offer modern bedrooms as per
preference.

The Maasai-Mara offers air-balloons ride, introduced in the early 60’s the air balloons offers a splendor site
in the rich game-resource. Alot of this trip are done when at the wild beast migrating season to give a wide
view of the migration.
The Maasai-mara is ideal for picnic. The county government has made it easy simply pay a small specified
amount and having your own car, you can drive yourself through the park. However for the best Maasai-
Mala experience, it is advisable to hire a tour-guard. Plenty of experienced tour-guard is available for
booking online or around the city centre. This tour companies offers a van with an open roof for a clear
view of the game. Some also offers open truck, which are excellent to board and have a clear view of the
amimals.Among the most sort out games are the lion, cheetahs and elephants. It’s not even surprising to
capture a big cut on a hunt. Unlike when viewed on the television, the live scenes offer an experience to
remember. Some restriction, however are normally imposed like not to wonder off away alone by foot
without a guard and avoiding feeding the animals foodstuff. It is also encouraged to take home all your
disposable cans after a picnic and not to dump it on the savanna
A lot of government money has been put to ensure, the park stays as natural as possible, while at the same
time improving roads entering the park and ensuring the service offered are on top of the class.
The government has gone further in reducing the price of entrance, to attract local tourist. Lot of complains
has been held up at local levels as well as international to attract tourism.
The local ingenious communities living around the park has been able to interrogate and live well with the
animals. Communities such as the Maasai have lived in the park for many generations and are able to
intermingle well, living alongside the game. The government in ensuring sustainability of big cats like lion,
created a policy to repay any lost cattle by the lion by offering in return compesation.Lot of cases has been
held at local county government where the maasai can take their complains in regard to loss of cattle by
the wild cat. This initiative has helped in ensuring no lions or other big cats are killed off by the Maasai in
retaliation for killing a cow: and it has worked very well.
