| | Tim Trench Safaris - Masai Mara National Reserve (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | The Mara is essentially the northern end of the great Serengeti, which stretches into Tanzania, and is undoubtedly the richest part of this extraordinary ecosystem. |
 | | Throughout the year the Mara is a place of natural drama where the "Big Five" - elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion, and leopard - roam, together with hundreds of others from the fastest animal on earth, the cheetah, to one of the most secretive, the bat-eared fox. |
 | | As they near the northern end of their migration and enter the Masai Mara the migrating herds find their range bisected by the Mara River, a gently meandering watercourse packed with pods of grunting hippos and more than the occasional 20-foot crocodile. |
