Masai Mara Game Viewing

Start the day with an early morning breakfast before heading out for a full-day game drive in Masai Mara National Reserve. The reserve is home to the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo—along with cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and numerous antelope species.

Enjoy a picnic lunch under the shade of an acacia tree while taking in the breathtaking scenery. If visiting between July and October, witness the great migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras cross from the Serengeti into the Mara, braving the crocodile-infested Mara River as predators wait in ambush.

Masai Mara is also a haven for bird lovers, with over 450 recorded species. Look out for the secretary bird, the heaviest flying bird, known for its striking appearance and unique hunting skills. Other notable birds include ostriches, vultures, lilac-breasted rollers, and a variety of raptors.
