When it was originally established in 1948 as a Wildlife Sanctuary,the
Mara covered only 520 km2 of the current area, including the Mara
Triangle.
The area was extended to the east in 1961 to cover 1,821 km2 and
converted to a Game Reserve.
'The Great Migration'...
The Great Wildebeest Migration, is one of the “Seven New Wonders
of the World”.
No where in the world is there a movement of animals as immense as
the wildebeest migration. Over two million animals migrate from the
Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the greener pastures of the
Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya during July through to
October. The migration has to cross the Mara River in the Maasai
Mara, where crocodiles will prey on them. This is one of the highlights
to be seen on your safari, as the animals try and cross the Mara River
alive.
In the Maasai Mara they will be hunted, stalked, and run down by the
larger carnivores.
The Maasai Mara also has one of the largest densities of lion in the
world and is no wonder this is the home of the BBC wildlife channels
Big Cat Diary.
The principle players are the wildebeest, whose numbers appear to
have settled at just under 1.5 million, with supporting roles from some
350,000 Thomson’s gazelle, 200,000 zebra and 12,000 eland. These
are the main migrators and they cross the ranges of over a quarter of a
million other resident herbivores and, of course, carnivores.
The lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs and lesser predators await the
annual coming
of the migration with eager anticipation.

| 2 Day Safari... TSAVO EAST... |
Tsavo East National Park is one of the oldest and largest parks in Kenya at 11,747 km2. Opened in April 1948,
it is located near the village of Voi in the Taita-Taveta District of Coast Province.
The park can be accessed by three main gates, from Voi through the Manyani gate, from Mombasa through the
Bachuma gate or from Malindi through the Sala gate.
Most of the park consists of semi-arid grasslands and savanna. It is considered one of the world's biodiversity
strongholds, and its popularity is mostly due to the vast amounts of diverse wildlife that can be seen, including the
famous 'big five' consisting of masai lion, black rhino, cape buffalo, elephant and leopard.
The park also is also home to a great variety of bird life such as the black kite, crowned crane, lovebird and the sacred
ibis.
