Nairobi - Maasai Mara Game Reserve

Our driver will comfortably pick you up at your hotel or at the Nairobi airport in the early morning at 7.00 am. We then travel along the Great Rift Valley, passing by the extinct volcano of Mount Longonot en-route to the marvelous Maasai Mara Game Reserve. You might notice a Maasai Moran (=Warrior) standing on one foot while herding hundreds of cows, goats, and sheep. His only defense against the dangerous wildlife surrounding him to all sides is a single stick or spear!

We arrive at our lodge at the perfect time for lunch, find time to relax and freshen up a bit, then head for more adventures. In the late afternoon hours, we have good chances of a close encounter with the Big Five (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard), and can easily spot herds of wildebeest (gnus), zebras, gazelles, impalas, and Maasai giraffes. In the Maasai Mara, we find the Old Africa of the movies. You will love it!

Maasai Mara Game Reserve

This day of safari adventure is exclusively spent in the Maasai Mara. We lookout for the park's Big Cats, the Big Five, and the abundance of wildlife and natural wonders found in Kenya's most famous game reserve. Remember to keep a sharp lookout; you may witness a dramatic hunt, a solitary Leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree, or a herd of elephants protecting their young from predators. The Maasai Mara has one of the richest wildlife ensembles in the world, hosting over 95 species of mammals and over 400 species of birds. Game viewing is never dull here, and patience is usually rewarded with unique sightings.

Between July and October (usually best in July and August), we can witness the famous Wildebeest and Zebra migration from the Serengeti to the Maasai Mara. A massive accumulation of 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and 350,000 gazelles stretch their legs over 2000km in an annual race to find enough water and green grass for their survival.
