The World's Greatest Wildlife Spectacle That Should Be at the Top of Everyone's Bucket List

5 / 5 5 /5

The Maasai Mara is the classic picture of Africa everyone imagines and my favorite of the four parks visited on my recent three week trip (also visited Nairobi and Lake Nakuru in Kenya, Etosha in Namibia.) A full day game drive in the Maasai Mara included dozens upon dozens of elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebra, antelope, etc., two quality sightings of pride of lions(including a male and female right on the side of the road and a pride with cubs eating a carcass), a river full of hippos and crocodiles, lots of birds, beautiful landscape, a visit to the border with Tanzania and a visit to the Maasai Village. Perhaps the biggest surprise was a distant peak at the Great Wildebeest Migration across the Tanzania border in Serengeti National Park (we were well informed we came a couple weeks too early to see the migration.) This is truly the most amazing wildlife spectacle on earth and the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Also, affordable safari tours and lodging is readily available.
Read more The roads are a bit bumpy and big cat sightings lead to lots of jeeps but those are very meager prices to pay for a perfect day.

Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the best safari destinations in the world, renowned for its incredible wildlife diversity, spectacular Great Migration, and vast, picturesque landscapes. The chance to see the Big Five and experience the rich Maasai culture further enhances its appeal. A must-visit for any safari enthusiast!

Great wildlife viewing. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There are many different birds and the big 5.

The review below is the personal opinion of Chris D. and not that of SafariBookings.

Not a bad place to visit but Disappointing

3 / 5 3 /5

The driver/Guide and myself left Nairobi at 0700 in the morning and drove to the Sarova Mara game Camp. We stopped on the way at the Rift Valley Lookout and a then a Souvenir shop a bit later on. Both places have clean toilets and expensive souvenirs, you can get them for a third of the price in Nairobi. The Game Camp was very nice with fast Wifi and comfortable luxury tents. They turn off the power during the day and there is no air-conditioning in the tents which get quite hot in the afternoon. Our first drive through the park started in the afternoon and we saw all the various deer, lions, elephants, giraffe, buffalo, hyena, fox and some birds. The food at the Camp was excellent with a huge buffet but they charge you for a bottle of water ridiculous but juice is free. The next day we started early at 0700 and drove around the park until 1300 when we ate a packed lunch, continued driving until 1600 at which point we returned to the Camp. We saw the same animals today and a Cheetah. We
Read more never saw a Leopard or a Rhino which was disappointing as this was one of the promises made which I think are false promises because if these animals had been in the park we would have seen them. The next day a later start at 0900 and we visited the Masai village in the Park an additional cost of $20 quite interesting and then returned to Nairobi. I would not come back here or recommend this park, there must be more interesting Parks in Africa where you can see the famous Big 5 in the wild.

The park is full of animals, probably the best one the visit in Kenya.
