The expertise and experience of our driver-guide will maximize your chances of seeing all the splendors of Masai Mara and beyond. A family of cheetahs sunning themselves sleepily on a rock, the drama of a lion making a kill just 15-20 feet away from you, or the thrill of an elephant charge. The trees in the distance turn out to be the giraffe’s family. The clump of bushes is a pride of lions. And the rock that moves may be a rhino lumbering out of your way.
