The Masai Mara was where we witnessed the great wildebeest migration, complete with crocodiles, lions, and vultures. As the trip progressed, our accommodations got progressively more "bush", with the last being tents with no fences, no electricity, and Massai guards. An amazing, awesome experience.

Wow is all I can say, so much wildlife on your doorstep. I recommend taking a balloon ride, expensive but what an experience. Exceeded all expectations.

Masai Mara is undoubtedly the highlight of the holiday, day after day you can admire the best of the animal kingdom, even with luck you can see lions hunting their prized meal of the day, is where the visitor will see the river crosses the wildebeest, zebras, antelopes and other species, you must pay attention to the river and there alligators also want their chance to take a big bite of the day. sunsets and sunrises are spectacular, it is advisable to take the trip in a balloon across the plains of Masai Mara, I did and was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.
It is also advisable to take a raincoat for rain because sometimes the rain comes without warning and suddenly, a jersey in the morning is highly recommended because in the early hours of the day and usually get cold at night too.

Maybe I was just naive but it totally exceeded all of my expectations! The accommodations at Sarova Mara were just wonderful. I was thinking "tent" as in camping on the ground in sleeping bags not huge tents with king sized beds and solar heated water. The food selection was great too- buffet style, lots of choices and always something for everyone even the kids. The weather was perfect! No rain, few clouds. It was pretty warm during the day so after an early morning safari run we would just hang out by the pool until the sun started to go down. Our guide, Alex, was great! We got to see the "Big 5" on our first outing!! Lots of zebra, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, lions, antelope. But I didn't expect to see nearly every animal that would be in the reserve. The hippos at the river were great! Lots of great birds too. My favorite was the lilac breasted roller.

Maasai Mara is the best especially if you can only do one park. The wildlife is unsurpassed, and the experience in all ways is the best. I think if you stay more than a day you can begin to explore other animals and birds and relax during the day.

Try to go during the wildebeest migration (July to October) and it will be difficult to beat the sensation in any other park. Exceptional - all the relatives are rightly so in place.
