The Experience
Masai Mara National Game Reserve
Probably the most famous of the reserves, the Masai Mara, in Kenya's southwestern corner, boasts an astonishing amount of game. Unfenced, the Mara is bounded in the east by the Ngama Hills and in the west by the Oloololo or Siria Escarpment. Gazelle, wildebeest and zebra graze in large numbers and where prey is found so are predators. Not only is this a great place in which to find game, but also the wide greeny-gold savannahs spotted with thorn trees make it ideal for photography. The Mara, as it is known in Kenya, is ravishingly beautiful and also offers long, undisturbed views and utterly dramatic panoramas. The weather really means something here. The sun may beat down unforgivingly, huge clouds in fabulous shapes may sweep across the widest of skies, and the wind ripples the grasses as though they are stroked by a giant hand. The landscape is stunning.
The famously black-maned Mara lions are possibly the stars of the Mara show, but cheetah, leopard, elephant, kongoni, topi, Thompson's gazelle, waterbuck, hyena, and primates are all here too. As with the rest of Kenya, the birding is good. There is no settlement within the reserve however; the Mara is in theory owned by the Maasai, pastoralists and, in earlier times, renowned lion-killers. Lodges and hotels offer the opportunity to buy their beadwork, checked cloths and copies of their spears. It is said that if lions scent approaching Maasai on the breeze they move swiftly in the opposite direction.
The famous prides of the Masai Mara include the Marsh Pride, Rekero Pride, The Notch brothers, Rongai Pride and the Matira Pride. Some of the famous leopards are Bahati, Siri, Lorian, Sabah, Pretty face along with the famous cheetah Malaika.

Entim private wing is designed for small groups or couples who desire exclusivity and privacy. 8 guest tents are discreetly located in front of a small spring surrounded by tress and 100 metres away from one of the major wildebeest crossing point on the Mara River. The Bar lounge tent and Dining Tent have great views of the plains across where mass of wildebeests congregate during the season.
