Masai (Maasai) Mara Kenya, c. 2008

Masai Mara National Reserve is located in south west Kenya and is a vast scenic expanse of gently rolling African savannah plains measuring 1,510 square kilometers in area and bordering the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the south. Masai Mara is a unique wildlife conservation haven, famous for its spectacular natural diversity of wildlife and is the premier Kenya Safari location in East Africa. 

Large numbers of lions, cheetah, elephant, rhino, African buffalo, wildebeest, giraffe, zebra and many more animals are found in the park in their natural habitat, unconfined and free to roam the vast Kenyan wilderness stretching for miles on end.

The landscape has grassy plains and rolling hills, and is crossed by the Mara and Talek rivers. 

The area nearby is dotted with villages (enkangs) of Maasai people. The frames below were shot during a vacation I took in the Masai Mara in 2008. I
