About Masai Mara Safari Experience

Located in the Great Rift Valley in the southwest part of Kenya, Kenya Masai Mara National Reserve is the flagship wildlife park of Kenya. Known as the mother of all wildlife parks, Masai Mara is an ideal place for you to see the African big five, namely Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard, and buffalo, in all their glory! Being a mecca of wildlife, you will also get to spot other animals like wildebeest, Gazelle, Zebra, Antelope, Giraffe, Ostrich, Hyena, Cheetah, and many more. Dominated by grassland savannah, pockets of riparian forest, rocky hills, and acacia woodland intersperse the plains of the National Reserve. It is world-famous for the annual wildebeest migration, in which 2.5 million Wildebeest, Gazelles, and Zebras follow the rains searching for new grass. This Mecca of wildlife is also known for ‘Big Cat Diaries,' the popular series on BBC. With around 500+ bird species, the Kenya Masai Mara National Reserve is a great place to spot bird species like the Kori Bustard, Rufous-bellied Heron, Sooty Chat, and many more. A Masai Mara safari will give you a chance to experience breathtaking safaris and incredible wildlife sightings!

Arguably, it has the best location in Masai Mara National Reserve, with 3 Lion prides, 2 cheetah families, and 4 leopards within a 3km radius of the property. It's located right in the centre of the park, and the main migration crossing point is 10-15 minutes away. All the tents have en-suite facilities, and the food is sumptuous.

• It is important to maintain strict adherence to national park entry and exit timings, which are usually sunrise to sunset but vary from park to park.

Similarly, in Tanzania, park fees are per entry per day, so additional park exits/entries beyond this agreed itinerary shall attract extra costs for the additional park fees.
• African conditions are extremely tough on vehicles. While we meticulously maintain our vehicles at our workshops, you should not expect Africa to be your traditional touring experience. While it's certainly our aim to avoid them, it's important that you set off on your trip knowing that the occasional breakdown can happen and is best treated as part of the African adventure. Due to wet weather, there may be times when we have to take an alternative route, which will mean longer travel times.
