Maasai Mara reserve was inaugurated in 1961. It is located west of the Great Rift Valley and is the natural continuation of the Serengeti plains in Tanzania. The Mara River, the backbone of the reserve, traverses it from north to south to continue its way west to Lake Victoria, through the Tanzanian parks. This channel is the natural barrier that the large migratory flocks of wildebeest and zebras that move between both parks must cross each year. A day or two dedicated to make safaris in the national reserve with a little luck one will have opportunities to photograph elephants, zebras, wildebeest, black rhinos, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs, leopards, lions, gazelles etc.
