More animals than at Amboseli, perhaps due to the fact that the drivers could go off-road to find them.

If you want to see classic African savannah with the big 5, this is an excellent choice. Just be prepared to also see lots of tourists.

A special Kenyan site where you have a good change to see a lot of wildlife. The Reserve has good activities and an adequate format of accommodations. The scenery is gorgeous, with such a wide variety of landscapes.

It would be great but there was too many people.

Have been both during and after the "great herd migration". Wonderful for both wildlife (all the big 5 plus cheetahs, hippos, and more) and local Masaai village visits. The accommodations were lovely. Don't remember where we stayed the 1st time, but the 2nd was associated with the Fairmont hotels.

The real African safari experience - rough journey, wonderful accomodation on arrival, all the Big Game, fabulous scenery, - day-to-day life & death to be seen on every game-drive. (I don't know what Tanzania could offer that the Masai Mara doesn't). If driving yourself, beware you are not permitted to go off track. The game-rangers are really strict.

The best of the best. The classic safari experience not to be missed. If you have only one place to go on safari go to Masai Mara.
