Maasai Mara National Reserve
Maasai Mara National Reserve, locally known simply as The Mara, is one of Africa’s most magnificent game reserves in Narok, Kenya, contiguous with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
The park is famous for the Great Migration, when thousands of wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson’s gazelle travel to and from the Serengeti, from July through October. In the Mara River, throngs of hippos and crocodiles lurk. The park is also known for providing excellent predator sightings, thanks to its relatively large populations of lions, cheetah, and leopard – especially in the dry months from December through February.
Lamu Island
Lamu Island is a port, city, and island of Kenya, just off the shore in the Indian Ocean approximately 240 km from Mombasa.
The island oozes old-world charm. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lamu Old Town is Kenya’s oldest continually inhabited settlement, with origins dating back to the 12th century. You can see the island’s rich trading history reflected in the buildings, with architectural features from the Arab world, Europe, and India. Lamu island also takes you back in time. Dhows plow the harbor, few if any motorized vehicles exist here, and donkeys still rule the streets as they have done for centuries. Lastly, one of the top attractions on the island is the Lamu Museum, with displays of Swahili culture and the region’s nautical history.
