Reticulated Giraffe, Oryx, Lesser Kudu, Grevy's Zebra,
and the Gerenuk, known as the "Giraffe Gazelle". Most of
the game viewing takes place around the forests along

leopard. In the afternoon there will be a game drive.

This Reserve is one of Africa's best known wildlife
areas, and is part of the Serengeti ecosystem. A land of
undulating hills and rolling grasslands it supports a
large animal population. Even a casual visitor is
treated to the sight of lions in prides sometimes
numbering more than thirty beasts with a handsome black
maned male in dominance; a Cheetah at great speed runs
down its prey; a leopard in the lower branches with its
kill.
In the Mara river there are crocodiles sunning
themselves on the banks, and Hippos playing in the
water. Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Giraffe, Topi, Gazelle
are all in abundance and during the months of July to
September the great migration of Wildebeest and Zebras
spill over from the Serengeti.
The sight of these beasts legging it across the Mara
River, avoiding both the crocodiles in the river, and
the predators harassing them from behind is amazing, and
the topic of some of the most spectacular photography
ever seen. Afternoon game drive, Dinner and overnight at
Mara Serena Safari Lodge.
