The Masai Mara National Reserve is on the lips of every tourist destined to Kenya. It is actually the reason why thousands of tourists are jetting into the country daily from all over the world. It was only recently declared the 7th Wonder of the World. This Reserve is a perfect example of Savannah grasslands of the African plateau.
It covers 1,500 square kilometers of grassland and shrubs and is home to the Maasai people, and a variety of wild animals scattered strategically within the reserve. The most awesome attraction here is the annual migration of wildebeest also known as gnu, in August to the northern expansive Serengeti Plains and October across the Mara river to the South in search of Pasture.
The 7th Wonder of the world is watered exclusively by the Mara River and itself fed by the Orare orok river, Keju Ronkai River and its major tributary, the Talek, in addition to a myriad number of seasonal springs crisscrossing this expansive land, giving the wild animals ample amount of water during most of the season. The Masai Mara reserve is also home to Olpunyaia Swamp, the Musiara swamp and Enkoiguaatet salt lick area attracting an astonishing number of wild game that converge here in search of water and salt licks.
Among the wild game to behold at the 7th wonder of the world are the Big Cats i.e. the Lions, the Cheetah and the hard to spot albeit common Leopard. You will definitely see Masai Giraffes, Elephants, Zebras, Baboons, Jackals, Hyenas, Buffalos, Zebras, Gazelles, Black rhinos and off coarse the wildebeest. All these animals exist harmoniously and interactively within the National park. All the Lodges dotted all over the Masai Mara will offer Wildlife drives and nature walks, but it is advisable to organize your game drive with a tour company like Nguyo Safaris and Car Hire in Nairobi. With their trained personnel your sojourn to 7th wonder of the world will be a memorable event.
The 7th Wonder of the world is not an isolated Jungle. You will be treated to a good number of Lodges, Tented Camp Sites and Clubs with an Entertainment galore. These lodges and Clubs have been constructed in such a way that they blend with the environment, with tented camps perched under acacia trees, spectacular views of the Savanna grasslands and nice scenic views of mountainous ranges within your sight. Most lodges have even been constructed to resemble the Maasai homestead like the Mara Sopa Lodge, the Mara Serena lodge, and the Kichwa Tembo Camp.
You can get to the 7th Wonder of the World by Air from Nairobi's Wilson Airport. You could travel by road by a customized Safari Land cruiser 4WD or a mini 10 Seater tour Van which can be organized with the help of Nguyo Safaris and Car Hire. It is not uncommon though to find a few tourists preferring to use public transport by use of a Matatu from Nairobi to Narok from where you take another Matatu from Narok to Sekanani and Talek Gates.
All said and done, you will find that the 7th Wonder of the World provides a classic, warm and clear image of the African Savanna grassland.
