Masai Mara National Reserve

The hundreds of thousands of Wildebeast keep the cat population well fed!

We saw 4 out of the Big five. The scenery was enjoyable. The weather was pleasant. The accommodations were much nicer than my own home. The menu alone had me salivating long before our meals arrived. Transportation was a standard Landrover set up. Our guide had learned from his father so, there were very few stones left unturned. Many, many Lions feasting on Wildebeast!

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.

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.

The Great Migration in the Masai Mara

A friend and I went to the Masai Mara for two days during the Great Migration. We booked a tour with Ket Safaris out of Nairobi. Our driver, Henry, picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi and drove us to our accommodation, which was a luxury tented camp. We saw plenty of wildlife, particularly wildebeest and zebra. All our guides were excellent. Definitely go during Migration if at all possible. Also, we booked a van instead of paying a little extra for a 4X4. If cost is not a significant issue for you, I highly suggest a 4X4 because the vans they use in the area don't have air con, and you are on very rough, dirt roads for the last two hours into the Mara. It can get quite uncomfortable.

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!

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

Great place - we were in Ashnil Mara Camp by the Mara river - with resident hippos and crocs. Heard a lion roaring in the middle of the night. Sighted lions, antelopes, cheetah, baboons, elephants, hippos, crocs, etc

God's Gardne of Eden in Africa for Man and Beast To Love and Enjoy.

Jambo - the safari was a dream come true. The scenery is something no one can explain until one experience it first hand. The food was great and so was the accommodation. Loved the tenting lodges at Masi Mara Leisure camp and the people - a few of the high lights were going to the Masai Mara Village and being chased by a White Rhino at Lake Nakuru National Park and seeing the Hippo's come to graze at night time at Lake Nivasha Lodge. The two guides Simon and Eratus were the best. Their patients and knowledge of the parks was great and fantastic driving as well. The weather was cool at night and early morning which we never expected, that was great. We went in late April and early May 2014.
