The best park in Kenya with uncountable wildlife numbers
When I visited this park in August, the migration of the animals was fully ongoing. There were hundreds of thousands of animals out in the huge savanna, they were uncountable.
The Zebras and Wildebeests crossing the Mara River was an amazing thing to watch, something extraordinary that one has to watch in a lifetime. We were also very lucky to see a lion kill wildebeests and also buffalo.
Also, managed to see a pride of 18 lions at one spot in Masai Mara, and even lions mating. This was the most outstanding park that we visited.
The safari company we booked with ensured we had the best game viewing in this sanctuary and recommend African Sermon Safaris operator. Their guides, Ben and James are also top class.

We stayed in 2 Eco-camps and loved it. They were small with only the 11 of us and the guides were great and very knowledgeable.

The abundance of animals and the scenic beauty were beyond compare. The highlight was a night drive watching a pack of hyenas chasing a herd of wildebeests and zebras. The hyenas screaming and hundreds of reflective eyes darting in every direction created an energy and image that i can't describe.
We didn't tire of seeing so many beautiful lions ever day from the several prides. We spent hours taking pics of lions and cheetahs. The big cats were so beautiful and so photogenic.
I would go back to Masai Mara in a heart beat.
Lion Kill, Cheetah Kill and Hyena Kill, along with everything else we saw! Amazing!
This was an amazing DAY in The Mara. We saw all this in one day. And did I mention a Black Rhino sighting? Yes. We saw one of the 27ish Black Rhinos in the park. To many birds, flora and fauna to list. I loved the parks I've been to in Tanzania (The Selous & Ruaha), but for shear numbers and volume, The Mara is hands-down the best. Richie is a cool guy, just don't get into a political discussion with him. He's very bright and speaks several languages. He is also, apparently, the best cheetah spotter in the Serengeti ecosystem. Cheers!!!

The Majestic Wildlife Safari in Masai Mara, Kenya
Masai Mara is a heaven for wildlife, i was so lucky that in my first game i was able to see all the Big 5 and for next 3 days they view was spectacular and the rainy weather made it even more beautiful.
Fantastic Experience
This is was a wonderful trip with Bison. It was more than expected trip. All that I wanted were fulfilled during this tour. The guides were so experienced on the Masai park route that they will ensure you carry best memories for the life. My guide Joseph gone out of his way to make us experience the wild beast migration and patiently waited till the animals crossing the Masai river. The tent accommodation is more than exiting. All the credit goes to Bison and team who gave us these moments to me. Anytime I recommend Bison if someone is planning a grip to Kenya.

We arrived after 02 days of rain in the region, so everything as green and fresh, the reserve looked like a golf course. We stayed at a nature camp (Mara Eden) on the Mara River bank and could count hippos and crocodiles and hear them during the night). Such a immersion in nature!

Breathtaking!
This was my first trip to Kenya and Masai MaraNational Reserve. I did not expect to so many different and rare species. The first day, just after 10 minutes away from the camp, Masai Mara Game Camp, a black rihno suddenly came of a bush! What a big and beautuful animale.
I did se about 16 lions, males, females og small lion cubs. As you can see in my photos - I did see almost every animals that lives in the area. It was just so breathtaking and I would definetely come back til Kenya and Masai Mara!
Masai Mara is a fantastic National Reserve. The smell form the savannah, a long view and animals all over the area. It is quite but still full og life. I was am humbled to experience the nature as close as I did. Our guide and driver did tell us about the environment and how the kenyansian people is aware and try to protect killing of elephants, rhino and other rare species.

Simply the best experience of birding and wholesome wildlife watching in all of Kenya. We got to see the big cats, elephants, all kinds of herbivores and such a rich variety of birds. The camps are inside the Reserve and even the stay in the camps gets you so close to the wildlife. We stayed by a camp at River Talek and saw a leopard while walking to the restaurant for dinner! What an amazing abundance of diverse wildlife!
Fantastic!
I can't totally see why this is considered the top wildlife park in Africa, it is truly spectacular! The animals are almost too easy to spot! The beauty of the landscape is incredible, but it is a bit blemished by the hundreds of safari vehicles doting the landscape. The Masai farmers also put a bit of a damper on the bush vibe, riding around with their motercycles and leading huge herds of cattle around and into the park, but even with the overcrowding of tourists and the pollution from the local villages, the Mara shines as arguably the best and most beautiful park in Africa! So many animals and the lodges are superb, the people could not be nicer, and the wildlife viewing is some of the best in the world, biggest downer on the park is the lack of the endangered African wild dog, which is the crown jewel of wildlife enthusiasts everywhere, it is saddly almost never spotted in the park.
