Explore the incredible Mara wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in Kenya: witness the frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, and wildebeest.
