The Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya made the final list during a recent UN-organised competition in search of the eighth wonder of the world. The seasonal crossing of over two million wildebeest from the Masai Mara Game Reserve, across the Mara River and into the Serengeti is breath-taking. Tourists travel from all over the world to see the spectacle, which more often than not surpasses their wildest imagination. This one event has propelled the game reserve and East African region to the world stage as a premier wildlife-viewing destination. The presence of morans, who act as guides, exposes the tourists to the rich culture of the Masai communities in the area, providing a wholesome and fun travel experience.
