What could be more entertaining than an encounter with the “Big Fives” in a wildlife drive? The regal lions and leopards, the beautiful African elephant, and the stunning African buffalo and black rhinoceros paint a spectacular picture of the Maasai Mara. The Maasai Mara is known for its large game reserve in Narok County, Kenya and is named in the honour of their ancestral inhabitants known as the Masaai people, who inhabit the African Great Lakes region.
Almost anything into the wild could be dangerous- from the plants and scrubs to the insects and plants – there’s something that will always keep you on the edge. The Masaai strongly believe that God has provided them with all the cattle in the world which explains their reputations as fearsome warriors who take cattle rustling very seriously. Let’s take a step back and admire the visuals to understand what makes Masaai Mara an option you may want on your bucket list. Photographs by Debojit Saha.
