All members of the Big Five, that is lion, African leopard, African bush elephant, African buffalo, black and white rhinos, are found here all year round. Blue wildebeests, topi, plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles migrate into and occupy the Mara reserve, from the Serengeti plains to the south and Loita Plains in the pastoral ranches to the north-east, from July to October.
The game drive will end at around 6:30 p.m. You will head to the lodge for dinner and a night's rest.

The Masai Mara is one of the lushest reserves in Africa and is globally renowned for providing excellent predator sightings in their natural habitat thanks to its relatively large populations of lion, cheetah, and leopard.
