Expertise and experience of our driver-guides will maximize your chances of seeing all the splendors of Maasai Mara and beyond. A family of cheetah sunning themselves sleepily on a rock, the drama of a lion makes a kill just 15-20 feet away from you, or the thrill of elephant charge. The trees in the distance turn out to be giraffe’s family. The clump of bushes is a pride of lions. And the rock that moves may be a rhino lumbering out of your way. In any event, the sheer mass and spectacle of the animals surrounding you will provide endless opportunities to fill many an album of treasured memories.

This huge expanse of grassland is home to an astonishing variety of wildlife such as elephant, buffalo, zebra, crocodile, ostrich, hyena, rhino, cheetah, leopard, and lion. Between mid-august to late October, one of the greatest spectacles on Earth takes place in the Maasai Mara – the annual wildebeest migration. Over one million wildebeest are joined by zebra and gazelle as they move into the reserve seeking fresh grazing. Nothing is guaranteed on safari, but with the help of our brilliant guides, you should see and learn a huge amount about the resident wildlife as you drive through the park.
