Upon your arrival, you will proceed to check in at your tented camp in Masai Mara. We choose the best lodges & tented camps for you. The lodges or tented camps we opt for are in close proximity to Masai Mara National Reserve and therefore ideal while going for game drives. After your delicious lunch at the camp, you will proceed for an afternoon game drive inside the park. During this time of day, the pride of lions are seen basking under the tall Savannah grasslands while cheetahs can be spotted stalking their next prey.
You will spend the next 5 days in the vast Masai Mara plains. The Game reserve is home to the Big 5 wildlife that includes; buffalo, lion, leopard, rhino, and elephants. This are Kenya’s largest animals. Other than the big 5, the Mara ecosystem is home to various wildlife and bird species.

The main attraction in this esteemed game park is the annual wildebeest migration. The wildebeest migration occurs every year from July to September. More than 500,000 wildebeest migrate from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania crossing over to the Masai Mara Game Reserve via the Mara River. The dramatic scenes are when the wildebeest and zebras cross over and the predators are hot on their heels to catch their next meal. It is truly an ideal photographic moment while on this safari. It is truly the survival of the fittest.

Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya)
We will spend 2 days exploring the Masai Mara, with its abundance of large mammals and diverse bird life. We have the option to either have full and complete days out in the field when both breakfast and lunch can be served out on the Savannah or we can return to camp for lunch. Big cats are a very prominent feature of the Masai Mara and also include Cheetahs and Leopards, both of which are fairly straightforward to find here. We are definitely at ‘Predator Central’ here and there can be few.
if any wildlife spectacles anywhere in the world that can rival the tension, drama and emotion of a Mara crossing. As many as a million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra attempt this epic journey each year. Watching as thousands of wildebeest and zebra gather at a crossing point you can almost feel the pressure build on the animals at the front as they consider the right time to attempt to cross the dangerous waters of the crocodile-infested Mara River. It is, however, a time of plenty for the gigantic Nile Crocodiles that live in the river and lie in wait as hundreds of thousands of animals head north from the Serengeti Plains to feed on the lush Mara grasslands. The foaming waters, noise and drama of a Mara crossing has to be experienced to be believed and offers dramatic action photo opportunities. Dinner and overnight stay at either Mara Leisure camp, Mara Sopa Lodge , Azure Mara Haven or similar
