    Surrounded by acacia trees spread across endless grasslands, the Maasai Mara National Park is named so because of the Maasai people that live there and the Mara River that crosses it.

    Maasai Mara is also home to an incredible variety of wildlife, including lions, hippos, zebras, and all the African animals you can imagine.

    A trip to Kenya should definitely include a safari through this fantastic park!

    Located 150 miles southeast of Nairobi, Amboseli is known for being the best place to sight free-ranging elephants. Hundreds of elephants gather around backdropped by amazing vistas of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.

    Amboseli protects two of five main swamps that are formed in that region, which are perfect for viewing 400 species of birds, including water types like pelicans, crakes, and 47 raptor species.

    Other attractions of this park include the opportunity to meet Maasai people and visit one of their villages.
