El parque nacional Masai Mara (o Maasai Mara) está situado al sudoeste de Kenya en la región del Serengeti, siendo en realidad una continuación del parque nacional del Serengeti. Se llama así porque la tribu masai, habita dicha zona, y por el río Mara que lo cruza, y es famoso por su fauna excepcional.

Ocupa un area de 1.510 km² en la zona del Gran Valle del Rift. La mayor parte del territorio es sabana salpicada por las distintivas acacias. La fauna tiende a concentrarse en la zona occidental del valle, ya que el acceso al agua es más fácil. La frontera oriental del parque dista unos 224 km de Nairobi.

Nice composition and exposure, very good sky

Hello Jose,
This vast landscape, with plains as far as my eye can see... amazing!
A few trees scattered around in the dry grass, and the colours are contrasting well with the beautiful sky...
A simple but effective composition, giving a good impression of this great place!
Greetings,

Hola Jose,
Buena foto, has dado mucha importancia al cielo. Yo, seguramente, hubiera seguido la regla de los tercios. 2/3 para el cielo y 1/3 para la sabana. Pero tampoco quiero parecer un experto pedante. Asi renarcas la idea de espacio abierto, que debe ser una de las sensaciones predominantes en Africa.

Saludos
Ricard

Magnífica lasitud donde la vista y las personas se pierden...
Hermosos colores y genial presentación.
Mis mejores deseos para tí y los tuyos, JL.
