Nestled in the south west of Kenya, the Maasai Mara National Reserve is home to more than 1.5 million wildebeests, thousands of zebras, Nile crocodiles, lions, hippopotami and variety of bird species.
Great Migration
Best time to visit this wildlife enthusiast’s haven is from
July to October, the dry season when the weather is cool. It’s also the period when the Great Migration occurs - herds of wildebeests and zebras from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park migrate to the Maasai Mara Reserve in search of food and water. They cross the Mara River where the Nile crocodiles wait to hunt down these wildebeests as they crossover.
Game Drive
On your
holiday to Maasai Mara, indulge in game drive, the popular safari activity. Be thrilled as you observe the wildlife in their natural habitat carrying out their daily activities. Catch a glimpse of the big five: rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, lions, and leopards. You may also come across lions making meals out of stray antelopes.
Wildlife Photography
If you’re into wildlife photography, the Maasai Mara Reserve will give you ample opportunities to exercise your photography skills. You’ll find more than 470 species of birds in this park, many of which are migrants.
Breathtaking Sunrise
Soak in the splendid beauty of sunrise and sunset. An altogether different experience which will remain with you forever.
Unforgettable Stay
Enjoy your stay in the safari lodges where you’ll find modern facilities with a touch of the Maasai culture. It’s an extraordinary experience to sleep in the tents and wake up to the call of the wild.
Balloon Safari
To satiate your adventurous soul, go for balloon safari. As you soar up in the sky, treat your eyes to the picturesque aerial views of the reserve, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can also enjoy activities that your hotel/lodge offers which include spa, swimming and many more.
