Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Elephant. The Maasai Mara National Reserve is administered by local country councils. It is probably the most famous and most visited game reserve in Kenya. Their dramatic river crossing are a reality for tourists visiting in early July-August. Apart from the seasonal migration, gameviewing is excellent year round.
Accommodation ranges from stone built lodges to luxury tented camps.
The area to the north owned by the Maasai offers great game-viewing, game walks and night games. Safari operators set up private tented camps for small groups seeking exclusive and traditional safaris out of the Reserve. The Aberdare National Park is part of the Aberdare Mountain range, a fascinating region of Kenya. Mountain ranges and peaks soar to around 14,000ft., giving way to deep V-shaped valleys with streams and rivers cascading over spectacular waterfalls. This area is a must for landscape lovers.
