Cradled by the Great Rift Valley and framed by the Loita Hills and the Esoit-Oloolo Escarpment, this vast wilderness joins Tanzania’s Serengeti to form a colossal ecosystem for the Great Migration.

After settling in, head out for an afternoon jeep safari as the golden hour approaches. Across the sweeping savannah, you’ll track massive prides of lions, elegant giraffes, and roaming elephants. Near the famous Mara River, keep a watchful eye on the banks for elusive leopards and buffalo, while the water teems with pods of hippos and sun-bathing Nile crocodiles.
