Things to do at Serena Masai Mara Lodge
World renowned for the breath-taking spectacle of ‘the greatest wildlife show on earth’, the awe inspiring annual wildebeest migration, the Mara is Kenya’s most visited protected area. Technically an extension of Tanzania’s renowned Serengeti National Park, the Mara constitutes only 4% of the entire Serengeti ecosystem but its rolling grasslands, meandering rivers and towering escarpments offer one of the world’s most rewarding and evocative wildlife arenas. Offering an abundance of herbivores, the Mara makes the ideal hunting ground for Kenya’s famous ‘big cats’ and hosts her largest population of lions. It also offers the best chance of spotting a leopard in the wild. Other predators include cheetah and spotted hyena.In the Maa language, the common tongue of the Il-Maasai clans, the word ‘Mara’ means ‘spotted’ and is thought to refer to the patchy mosaic of bushes and trees that define the Mara plains.
