Full-Day Game Drives in Masai Mara

After having breakfast in the morning, you will begin a full-day game, searching for the magnificent wildlife in the park. The reserve is known for its excellent predator sightings, thanks to its relatively large population of lions, cheetahs, and leopards.

You will have the opportunity to drive down to the Mara River, the site of the Great Migration, during the season from July through October. The immense herds of wildebeest and zebras are magnificent, matched only by the drama of the predators who lie and wait for them.

To enhance your experience at the Mara, you may want to take advantage of several optional events we offer at an extra cost. This includes visiting the local Masai people in their nearby village and taking a pre-dawn hot air balloon ride high above the reserve as the morning light breaks across the golden savannah, witnessing the herds of wildlife emerging into the day.
