The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion as well as its abundant resident wildlife. Mara is one of the few places where it's possible to see the “Big Five” during the morning game drives. Many of the cheetah are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under your safari vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, there are close to 500 species of bird; among these species of eagle, hawk, falcon, vulture, stork, bustard (including the world's heaviest flying bird the Kori), and sun birds.

You will rise early, have breakfast and then take off on an early morning game drive in Masai Mara while driving out of the reserve. After border formalities, you will continue your drive to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It will be a long day of driving, but the game drives in and out of the parks can be surprisingly incredible and action packed. We recommend that you chose to fly from one park to the other so that you can have more time on safari, but that is your choice. Alternatively, you can add an extra day to visit Lake Victoria, halfway between the two parks. Upon arrival in the Serengeti, you will check-in at Kiota Camp for dinner and your overnight stay.

Large predators including lion, cheetah, and hyena are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrate throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, jackal, monkey, baboon and African hare also inhabit the area. There are also nearly 500 species of birds.

With walls 2,000 feet high and a crater floor that spreads for 102 square miles, Ngorongoro is a virtual Noah's Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhino. The large bull elephants have extremely large tusk, due to the rich mineral content in the volcanic soil and grasses.
