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.

June may not be the best time to visit

June, being the time of the year just before the Migration, was not the best time to visit. The grass was very high and smaller big cats like Cheetahs and Leopards were impossible to spot in the grass growth.

Still the bigger wildlife like Wildebeests, Buffaloes, Elephants and Giraffes were almost common without compromising on the 'wild' feel. Lions were quite easy to spot but the Male lions were quite elusive.

Everything was superb. The only downside: poor Internet connection at the hotel. OK, it was a time to relax and savor the habitat.

I don't have words to express the beauty of the country and this park in particular. It is a place for a complete detox from phones and any electronics. We lived our time there and wouldn't mind going for morr

Amazing to see the migration herds of wildebeest. Also great lion viewing and diversity of other wildlife.

It was sad to see that the Mara river had so little water.

A bit closer to civilization; houses visible in the distance quite often, so you aren't "out there" in the same sense as in Masai Mara

For the first time I saw the beast animals with my naked eyes. The experience which I cannot explain.
