Masai Mara

We'll spend the whole day exploring the park's amazingly high concentration of game. This game reserve is Kenya's finest wildlife sanctuary. Including migrants, well over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. The Mara plains are filled with migrating wildebeest and zebra and there is also resident wildlife year-round. The Mara's gentle, fertile climate bounded by the rift, offers perhaps the richest-stocked reserve set within some 1,672 sq km, offering you an unlimited spectacle of wildlife.

Located 268km west of Nairobi, the emphasis here is on the game. Herds of immense elephants browse among lions, buffalos, Thomson's gazelles, zebras, and topis. You may occasionally spot a rhino or leopard. In the Mara River, hippos play and crocodiles bask on the banks. The annual migration of a million wildebeest follows the rains north. After exploring the park, return to the camp for dinner and overnight.
