Maasai Mara Game Reserve
Adjoining the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania, a land of undulating hills and rolling grasslands supporting a huge animal population, Maasai Mara National Reserve is one of East Africa's best-known game viewing areas. Often the casual visitor will be treated to the sight of a cheetah roaming the plains to run down its prey; a lion pride, numbering as many as 20, led by a handsome black-maned male; or a leopard devouring its kill in the lower branches of the sausage tree. Hundreds of hippopotamuses and crocodiles sun themselves on the banks of the Mara River. Elephants, Cape buffalos, giraffes, gazelles, and topis abound. And, from July to September, the wildebeest and zebra migrations overflow into Maasai Mara from Tanzania. Wildlife viewing in the early morning from a hot air balloon delights the eye. Accommodations vary from simple lodges to luxury camps and ranch homesteads.
Basecamp, Mara is only one of two gold rated eco camps in Kenya. 12 spacious and luxurious tents, bordering the Masai Mara National reserve are hidden away under thatched roofs of a lush peninsula in the Talek River, with spectacular views of the savannah.
Little Governors' is intimate in character, with just 17 luxury en-suite tents tucked around a large watering hole that teems with both birds and wildlife. The camp is approached by a boat ride across the Mara River, then an escorted walk through the riverine forest.
