Mara Wildlife Sanctuary is an astounding and picturesque destination of Kenya.
The country is known as a frequently visited tourist destination for its natural
endowments in wildlife, pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, sandy beaches,
range of water sport activities, convenient accommodation facilities and hospitable
people. The Masai Mara area is a destination of gently rolling hills and woodlands
continuously watered by the Mara River and Talek River. This many grandeur place
is also a destination of adventure and solidarity. Like few of the other destinations
of Kenya, the breath taking sights of the wild, the unforgettable safaris and
the abundance of wildlife makes Masai Mara a must see. Masai Mara is also known
as the paradise of birds both native and migratory. The gentle and undulating
grassland helps you to spot the wild on move without putting any effort. On
its western border, the edge of the park houses the highest concentrations of
game. • What to do Site seeing, spotting some of the exotic species of the jungle and also indulging in some of the adventure sport options that are available in the park would be some of the commonest and must do things while visiting Masai Mara National Park. • History there isn't much to say in the history of the park except the local tribes here, as the wilderness and the natural virginity is still prevalent there in the park where you can see the beauty and the beast live together happily. The word Masai denotes the semi nomadic tribe of Kenya who leads a life that is centred on the wildlife of the country. A river called the Mara flows through the reserve and this clearly says why the name of the reserve has been given as the Masai Mara national Park.  The
Masai tribe lives in small group of huts and cattle treading is the main activity
of life here. In early days the tribe had a very primitive way of living. They
used to depend on the jungle for the day-to-day need of life. The women folk
of the tribe were supposed to be the major working force of the tribe who usually
build houses by the locally available materials like grass, wood log, cow dung
and animal skin off course. But with the passing of time, the tribe is getting
exposed to the outer developed world. This is due to the adventurous travellers
who sometimes meet the tribal influencing their life style to a considerable
extent. The proof of this fact could be seen in the use of some of the mechanically
prepared things like the stitched garments and steel utensils etc. • Weather and Best Season to Visit You can visit Masai Mara any time of the year because of its comfortable climate. The rain is equally distributed throughout the year and evening is the normal time to rain. So you can enjoy the whole day without the fear of getting wet in the wild. However, evening rainfalls are quiet predictable in the months of July to October.

customs. This semi nomadic tribe lives harmoniously in and around the jungles
due to their dependence on the forests. •After Hours VISITOR INFORMATION AND IMPORTANT ADDRESSES African Horizons Travel & Safari Ltd. P.O. Box 54998 Nairobi Kenya E-mail: info@african-horizons.com •Hotels (where to stay) Accommodation  should
