All members of the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) are sighted all year round. Blue wildebeest, topi, plains zebra and Thomson's gazelle migrate into and occupy the Mara, from the Serengeti plains to the south and Loita Plains in the pastoral ranches to the north-east from July to October (migration period).

You should have covered a lot of ground by the time the sun gets hot, which will be the ideal time to enjoy lunch at the lodge, jump into the pool and cool yourself down.

An afternoon game is ideal for climaxing your game drive across the expansive reserve. Return to the lodge, have dinner, and rest for the night.
