The jewel of Kenya’s parks, the world famous Masai Mara Game (Wildlife) Reserve. This is Kenya’s number one park and is always on every tourist’s “Must see list”. Full of life with various types of animals and birds, Masai Mara crown’s the climax of every safari in Kenya. Its rolling grasslands and acacia savannah have time and again been captured on film with the movie “Out Of Africa” being the most famous. Masai Mara is home to the “Big Five” (Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard and Rhino) and over 450 bird species. Apart from the big five, the Masai Mara is most famous for the spectacular annual migration of over a million wildebeest, zebra, gazelle etc from the Serengeti in northern Tanzania crossing the Mara River into Kenya in search of fresh feeding grounds, which takes place in late July or August. During this crossing, hundreds of animals are swept away by the first moving Mara River and others are killed by the ferocious African Crocodiles. This crossing gives true meaning to the phrase “Survival of the fittest”.
A 3 day safari taken by road or by air depending on your preferences and budget will give you some good time to explore the Mara. Accommodation can be at 5 star lodges or luxury tented camp. All meals will be taken at your lodge or luxury tented camp. Safaris are private in exclusive safari vehicles at your disposal or flying package safaris that are all inclusive and use a shared safari vehicle (maximum 6 persons per vehicle) with guaranteed window seats for wildlife viewing and photography during game drives. We have listed what we consider to be the best places to stay when exploring the Mara
