I can assure you that all the photos in my archive would not be enough to describe what you will see and the emotions you will feel, only by living this experience will you be able to understand what I am talking about.
The reserve borders the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, with which it forms a single ecosystem. The reserve is known for its exceptional concentration of fauna and for the famous Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras that takes place in April-May. The most famous icon of the Masai Mara is probably the image of the lion, of which large prides are found; however, all the so-called Big Five are present in the park, although the population of black rhinos is seriously endangered (in 2000, the presence of only 37 specimens was estimated). Hippopotamuses are numerous in the Mara River and the Talek River. Cheetahs are also present, but they too are considered endangered, perhaps also because of the disturbance that tourists cause to their daytime hunting activity.
Meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The National Park (188 km² in size) was established in 1961, around the lake of the same name, essentially to protect the very large colony of pink flamingos that lived here feeding on microcrustaceans and algae. The number of flamingos varies according to the quantity of food, related to the salinity of the water. The land around the lake is marshy, but as you move away from the water, it dries up and becomes forest, dry forest, tree savannah and flat savannah. To the west rises the western escarpment of the Rift Valley. Initially there were waterbucks, impalas, warthogs, baboons, lions and some buffalo and only two old black rhinos.
Meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
