Masai Mara National Reserve

The Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya is part of the geographic continuity of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. As the name suggests, these are the lands of the famous Maasai tribe. Made up of landscapes typical of the savannah plains, it is a paradise for photographing elephants, lions, giraffes and other animals. It is also in this park with its fragile balance that you will be able to observe the transhumance of zebras and wildebeest which gather by the thousands and in herds to cross together the perilous Mara river where crocodiles, lions and cheetahs wait patiently ...

Zebra in the Masai Mara National Reserve

The zebra is an enigmatic animal due to its stripes which make it very visible in the savannah unlike other animals. A sign of social distinction, a repellent against parasites such as the Tsé-Tsé fly or collective camouflage to impress predators who believe they see one and the same mass when the herd gathers.

Cheetah bringing back its prey

The cheetah's performance speaks for itself: capable of covering eight meters in a single stride and four strides per second (i.e. a 100 meters in 3,125 seconds!), It is the fastest quadruped in the world and inevitably the one of the most efficient predators.

Antelope in the Masai Mara reserve

Antelopes are the favorite prey of cheetahs who love their meat. But by dint of being chased, the antelopes have been able to develop their defense based on overpowered sprints, tight turns and incidentally kicking back legs that can knock out any animal squeezing them too closely ...

Portrait of a tribal man Maasaï

The Maasai are a tribe of herders and hunters living in Kenya and Tanzania. Their ancestral culture is rich and complex. They are particularly known for their sartorial pageantry and body modifications. We notice in this portrait the absence of two teeth voluntarily withdrawn during childhood. In addition, the color red is emblematic of the Maasai who wear it in jewelry, clothing and hair.
