The Masai Mara plains are full of wildebeest during the migration season from early July to the end of September. Zebras, impalas, topis, giraffes, and Thomson gazelle are regularly seen, as well as leopards, lions, hyenas, cheetahs, jackals, and bat-eared foxes. Black rhinos are a little shy and hard to spot but are often seen at a distance if you are lucky. Hippos are abundant in the Mara River, as are enormous Nile crocodiles, who wait for a meal as the wildebeest cross on their annual quest to find new pastures.
Later, you will return to Prideinn Mara Camp in the evening for an arranged bush nature walk with an experienced and knowledgeable guide in a wildlife conservation area.

Masai Mara National Reserve - Serengeti National Park
You will enjoy an early morning breakfast, check out with lunch boxes, and then go to the Tanzanian border post at Isebania, where you will meet our Tanzanian liaison for your transfer to the Serengeti. Please ensure you have a valid visa to enter Tanzania as visa application arrival can cost you a lot of time.
After clearing the Kenya/Tanzania border of Isebania, you'll exchange your vehicle after immigration formalities. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes.
