Maasai Mara National Reserve
Embarking from the scenic Lake Nakuru in a rugged Land Rover 4x4, our journey brought us to the legendary Maasai Mara. Here, amidst the vast expanse of nature's canvas, we began our exploration of this majestic park.
This unparalleled haven derives its name as an homage to the Maasai people, the revered ancestral dwellers of this region. Originating from the Nile Basin, they infused the Mara with their rich heritage and lore. From their perspective, the landscape presents a mosaic of nature's beauty—aptly encapsulated by the term "Mara," translating to "spotted" in the local Maasai tongue. This name eloquently reflects the multitude of short, bushy trees that speckle the sprawling vista.
