One of my top two parks in Kenya. I can't say enough good things about the Mara. Beautiful place. The wildlife is incredible. It is just so pretty and peaceful. Top notch!

Beautiful surroundings - we visited the park at the time of the wildebeest migration - an amazing experience. Guides and fellow tourists not particularly knowledgeable or interested regarding birds. However, what I saw/identified led me to believe that this would be a good birding destination. Visited a luxurious lodge in the middle of the Masai Mara - not much bush vibe there!

We shared our visit to Masai Mara with some friends, who had never done Safari before. We enjoyed their enthousiasm :-). In the park you find no traces of any human waste, the wildlife was abundant. The one thing we missed, were the big groups of wildebeest, but this time of the year, most of them are in the Serengeti.
In 4 days, we have seen Lions, cheeta, zebras, wildebeest, hartebeest, maraboe, mangoest, impala, topi, hyena, buffalo, gazelle, vultures, crocodile, hippo, eagles ....
We hope to visit the park again.

Gorgeous scene of African plains with lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Luckily you would see those powerful predators hunting. Beautiful place for landscape photography.

Once you land in Mara, you'll get to know why it was rated one of the seven wonders of the modern world. With flat landscapes as far as the eye can see, you'll easily spot lions, cheetah, buffalo, rhinos, elephants and if you're lucky like me, the elusive leopard. Getting to witness a river crossing by zebras and wildebeest is too awesome for words.

My experience in the Masai Mara provided me with the greatest opportunities to see big carnivores. The number of these large predators was truly amazing. Additionally, our stay at Richard's Camp provided possibly the most luxurious of accommodations. All of our camps were delightful, but Richard's Camp was a cut above the norm. Gorgeous tents with wildlife literally in your front yard and meals beyond compare. Highly recommended.

Of course I missed the Wildbeast migration, but I didn't miss the stylish giraffe walks and lion-gazelle live hunts that I only see in the National Geographic series. The accomodation, food and transportation was all catered for by my travel company, Helinas Safaris. And the memories with the amazing guides are bound to remain intact for the next century or so.

Countless animals just roam around the savannah. I saw Big Five over and over, as well as a cheetah hunting a gazelle. It's like watching Nat Geo or Discovery Channel live. The sceneries were peaceful and inspiring.
