Great wildlife, birds, and scenery. Stayed just outside the park and drove in.

Best premier safari experience of all the Park

When it comes to East Africa safari, there is no other like a Maasai Mara experience. With the vast wild animals in millions in the natural habitat and the beautiful landscapes not to forget the highlight - the african sunset!
We were able to see all the Big 5 in our 3 days safari including the Black Rhino which is very rare to spot, the huge hippos and crocodiles in Mara River and the flora and fauna were all incredible. The park is very huge and the adventure while doing a game drive through the park is unmatched!

Simply amazing and a lifetime experience of been closer to nature.

We visited Masai Mara National Reserve with a skepticism of how the experience will be then what we all watch on TV. I was impressed by the scenery, weather and the people around us. At the same time thank full to our guides who took in extra efforts to find us every wildlife that one wish for watching in wild.

My favourite out of seven

We have had two safaris in Kenya and the Mara reserve is by far the best. The reason is that you are not totally restricted to roads as in other parks in Kenya and Tanzania. Being able to drive further into the bush, you are more likely to be able to spot and photograph the animals at a closer range. On almost every drive there were so many animals to see and the rangers keep each other informed. On occasions there may be several vans grouping round a kill or an unusual animal such as a leopard but more often than not we got to view one completely on our own. One day we observed a cheetah for an hour and a half and there were no other vehicles. She eventually got up, chased and killed a young Thomson gazelle. Unfortunate for the gazelle but great for our video. We stayed at the Ashnil Mara which was superb. The tented accommodations are unbelievably good and so was the food. Our guide was from Kenya Espresso Safaris based in Niarobi and I would highly recommend them. We had three guides in all as we travelled to Tanzania and then back and they were all good.

Magnificent, incredible landscape and an unbundance of wildlife

We absolutely loved the Masai Mara due to the vast and picturesque landscape and the diversity and abundance of wildlife. We stayed in a tented camp which was fantastic and extremely comfortable it was exhilarating being woken in the middle of the night by the sounds of lions, hyenas and grazing hippos right next to our tent, what a fantastic experience. Our personal guide was a Masai who knew everything about the Mara from the plants to the fabulous creatures who inhabit this wonderful place, we were generally the first to spot wildlife either in the savannah or in trees, we were very fortunate enough to see fresh kills, water crossing and 4 of the Big 5, no Rhino sighting however we did get to see a Rhino in the Serengeti. This is definitely a part of Africa that I will be coming back to.
