Overview

Kenya is famous for its Wildlife, Landscape and the Masai tribes. All these three come together to form a perfect wildlife experience as you visit the famous Masai Mara National Reserve.

Masai Mara, known for its density of animals, never disappoints a wildlife enthusiast. Known as the mecca of Wildlife, the grasslands of Masai Mara form the habitat to a myriad wildlife. The Savannahs create a magical setting during the game drives which are action packed and there can never be a dull moment. Masai Mara is home to various mammals and bird life. If lucky, you will be able to get a glimpse of the Big 5 of Africa (Cape Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhinoceros) and witness the spectacle of wildebeests crossing the Mara river. A clear evening can also offer a show of the starry sky as you witness our Milky Way galaxy.

During the game drives, you can also spot various birds like Rollers, Vultures, Storks, Starlings, Ostriches and mammals like Zebras, Giraffes, Wildebeests, Impalas, Cheetah, Hyena, Jackals, Elands, to name a few. While you drive across a river, you may spot Hippos and Crocodiles enjoying the cool water. The sunrise and sunset at Masai Mara offer postcard-like views as they make the background for the famous Acacia trees.
