Breathtaking!
The weather was lovely, a bit chilly in the mornings, but perfect all day. The scenery was gorgeous and varied throughout the park. We saw so many animals, even on the first evening game drive. The drivers knew the park well, and were considerate of one another. Gorgeous accommodations close to the park. We even got to see wildebeest running, although we missed some of the best views of that as we were a few weeks too late.

One of the most beautiful places on earth, full of wildlife
Lenchada camp was great - safari tents with comfortable beds on cots, bed nets, and a private bathroom with hot water attached to

your tent. There are Masai workers at the camp that make a campfire at night who are nice and fun to talk to. Some other tourists even bought a goat from the Masai and roasted it over the fire. Just make sure you leave your tent zipped so the baboons don't get in at night. No locks on the tents. Dinner and breakfast buffets were hot and tasty, and also had fruit, tea, hot chocolate, and beer. Only the packed lunch they gave us for the safari day was rubbish - sandwich with dry bread and a few slices of tomato - come on. Inedible. Luckily I had taken some extra breakfast with me. The camp runs a generator for a few hours so you can have lights and charge your phone.The only critique is that many of the dirt roads are absolutely horrible and I'm surprised our big safari van made it through most of them. Even the roads outside the park coming from Nairobi practically gave me a stroke from the vibration, bouncing, and noise. Also during the high season, there are a lot of safari vans swarming around the animals, which is a bit annoying, but understandable.

The Masai Mara is a must see location in East Africa.
The Masai Mara was absolutely amazing. The scenery was breathtaking and the wildlife incredible. I can't wait to go back!
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.

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!

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.
