The Maasai Mara (also spelled Masai Mara) is a large park reserve in south-western Kenya, which is effectively the northern continuation of the Serengeti National Park game reserve in Tanzania. Named for the Maasai tribespeople (the traditional inhabitants of the area) and the Mara River which divides it, it is famous for its exceptional population of game and the annual migration of the wildebeest every September and October.
The road to Masai was trecherous, since there was unusually large amounts of rains this time of year. Our van got stuck several times and we even had to get out and push the truck. Definately, added to the adventure.
Here is one, that we caught on video while on our way there.
We also have several videos from the Safari, in addition to the pictures. If you put the volume up, you can even hear the animals.
