Day 7:Maasai Mara National Park, On Safaris

The Maasai Mara National Reserve, famous for its extraordinary populations of leopard, cheetah, and lions, however, it is not that easy to find out such intelligent predators since they always hide in the grass or bushes and silently keep eyes on their prey: lone elephant, buffalo, giraffe, wildebeest, or zebras.
