The Masai Mara is perhaps the most familiar setting for what would an African safari with vast open plains home to thousands of Wildebeest grazing at the feet of a majestic giraffe. 

The reserve is also renowned for its big populations of lion, leopard, and cheetahs. The Sand and Mara rivers run through the reserve and the banks are lined with big trees and ravine bushveld.  All members of the 'Big Five' can be found in the reserve as well as hippos, crocodiles, hyenas, cheetahs, jackals, giraffe, and bat-eared foxes.
