Reserve national Massed Mara
The Masaï Mara is a national reserve located at the south-west of the Kenya. It is the natural prolongation of the National park of Serengeti located in Tanzania. It holds its name of the tribe which lives on its grounds, the Masaïs, and of the river which crosses it, Mara.
It is about a great extent of savanna, slightly undulating, in which many species cross:
-
elephant S (3000 individuals),
- Lion S,
- Cheetah S,
- leopard S,
- antelopes of Grant,
- cobes,
- Impala S,
- Giraffe S.
Less attended than the Serengeti, the reserve is a superb place where to observe the migration of the Gnou S and Zèbre S twice a year (in particular, during their crossing of the Mara river).
Destination appraisal of the photo hobbyists sometimes pushed back by the high tariffs of the taxes of entry in the natural parks of Tanzania, it is the privileged place of activity of a couple of French animalist photographers: Michel Denis-Huot and Christine Denis-Huot which resides on the spot during most of the year.
