Masai Mara was our last stop of the safari. We actually stayed in 2 lodges, the Mara Sarova, and the Mara Serena. These were in opposite ends of the park which provided different opportunities. The Mara was finally the Africa I was expecting. It was miles of grasses, but more elevation change than I expected. There were also patches of shrubbery, where we came to find many animals using for cover. The Masai Mara is 1510 square kilometers and is essentially the northern extension of the Serengeti in Tanzania. It is the place of the Great Migration of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelle. We hit it in the low season, when the animals were in the Serengeti, but there was still plenty to see, without the crowds of people.
These guys were just waiting for the crowds to leave and night to fall.
