Masai Mara
After breakfast, you will depart with picnic lunch boxes for a full-day game viewing in the Masai Mara National Reserve. A Masai Mara safari is an unmissable highlight of any holiday in Kenya. There are breathtaking panoramas in every direction, a vast range of wildlife, including the Big Five, and a rich cultural heritage to explore. Kenya’s Masai Mara is, without a doubt, one of the greatest safari destinations in Africa.
Between July and October, the great migration gets busy. Millions of zebra and wildebeest make the perilous crossing through the Masai Mara in search of new grazing territory. In their wake comes a veritable horde of predators, including lions and leopards. Our guide will ensure that you get the best photographic opportunities and enrich you with the amazing cultural practices of the local communities of the Maasai people.
