Travel nature

Travel is very interesting, after the natural threat of the Volcano ash that threatened most flights from Europe to Africa bringing losses into billions of Shillings, the tourist was very worried and disappointed due to travel plans being changed. It gets a bit confusing when one gets along with a client on having a quotation done and then when the deal is finally through the client changes his / her mind on traveling. As much as the one with the money has power – the truth holds. In the height of migration in the Maasai Mara, its very rare to find rooms availability at the Mara Serena Lodge noting that, the lodge is conveniently located in the plains of Mara and the migration.The Maasai Mara National Reserve is set at an altitude of 1650m (5210 ft) the rolling grasslands of the Maasai Mara offer one of the nature’s most dramatic spectacles, the annual migration of over a million wildebeest and zebra from Tanzania’s Serengeti which takes place from late July to September. The Masai Mara lies 275 kms (170 miles) west of Nairobi.

The journey to Masai Mara, either by air, with extensive panoramic views of the floor of the Great Rift Valley including the “lost world” volcano of Suswa with its inner plateau, or by road along the south slopes of the Mau, is scenically magnificent.

Here the great herds of immense shuffling elephants, browse among the rich, tree studded grasslands with an occasional sighting of the solitary and ill-tempered rhino. Thompson’s gazelles, zebra and eland and many more species of plains’ game offer a rich choice of food for the predatory lions, leopards and cheetahs which hunt within the Masai Mara’s 1,672 Kms2 of pristine African wilderness.
