Masai Mara is justifiably one of the most famous reserve in Africa. With good reason as this is the Kenyan section of Serengeti plains and wildlife abounds. It is also traditionally the land of the Maasai people. The Masai people, after whom the park is named, are nomadic. While on game drives, you will often notice young tribesmen herding their cattle amongst the plains game. The Mara is 700 sq miles of open grassland dotted with the distinctive flat-topped acacia trees. It is watered by the tree-lined Mara River and its tributary the Talek River. The Western border of the park is the spectacular Oloololo Escarpment. It is difficult part of the Mara to access because of the swampy grounds.

Lake Nakuru National Park was established in 1961, and since then the park has increased considerably and now covers an area of 200sq km. The Lake lies in the park and has been given the conservation world's Ramser Site designation. It is a shallow soda lake. It is the most famous of The Great Rift Valley lakes with "the world's greatest ornithological spectacle". There is an opportunity of viewing over two million flamingos along with tens of thousands of other birds. The Lake is very shallow and the level fluctuates by up to four metres annually. When the water is low the soda crystallises out along the shoreline as a blinding white band of powder. There are areas of grassland, bush, forest and rocky cliffs and there are many other animals to be viewed, white rhino, the Rothchild giraffe, waterbucks, warthogs, large herds of buffalo, Thomson's gazelle, leopard, hyrax, hippos and many more animals.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
