Sightseeing

The Masai Mara is home to an excellent year-round concentration of game and is renowned for its annual visit by the two million animals that make up the Great Migration. Covering an impressive 1 115 km² (430 square miles), the Masai Mara is a land of breathtaking vistas, abundant wildlife and endless plains. The Masai Mara was made famous by the book Out of Africa by Karen Blixen, which was later made into a movie starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep.

The Masai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing and is one of the most popular tourism destinations in the world. The reserve is located in the Great Rift Valley in primarily open grassland. Wildlife tends to be most concentrated on the reserve’s western escarpment. The eastern end is closest to Nairobi and hence easier to access by tourists.

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is the ‘Seventh Wonder of the World’ due to the annual migration of over a 1.3 million wildebeest from the Serengeti plains to the Mara.

Doinyo Lessos Creameries Cheese Factory

Eldoret is a thriving service town straddling the Kenya–Uganda highway. It’s the principal economic hub of Western Kenya but for the traveller, there is little to see, and even less to do. The highlight is a visit to the Doinyo Lessos Creameries Cheese Factory to stock up on any one of 20 different varies of cheese.
