Masai Mara is known for having the highest density of wildlife in the region. Get up early to track the wildlife over hills for predators but also some of the 90 species of mammals filling the ecosystem. The reserve is also home to the Great Migration (July – October), when hordes of gazelle, wildebeest and zebra by the tens of thousands cross over the Mara River into the park on their yearly quest for tall fresher grasses on which to feed. You’ll take a picnic lunch at the Mara River, within sight of hippos, crocodiles and if during the migration season, splendid views of the invading herds crossing into the park, in a sight unmatched anywhere. You can enjoy(optional) a visit to the local Maasai people in the nearby village and learn about their culture and buy their colourful jewelry or a pre-dawn hot air balloon safari over the park and imagine viewing the Mara come alive with the new day as the wildlife emerges onto the savannah. Final night at the Masai Mara will be at the lodge.
