Masai Mara Game Reserve
The Maasai Mara Game reserve is arguably Kenya’s most
popular game sanctuary. It is the most famous and most visited game
reserve in Kenya. The film “Out of Africa” was made to a great extent in
this sanctuary. There is a profusion of all types of wildlife including
the big five.
A spectacle worth seeing is the annual migration of millions of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles from the Serengeti plains across the Tanzania border and the Mara River to reach Maasai Mara grazing fields from late June every year. The dramatic crossing of the river and the preying on the migrants by predators can be viewed from early July to August. The Game Reserve bounds with birdlife since close to about four hundred and fifty two odd species have been recorded. Hot air balloons Safaris are readily available in the park. Accommodation is plentiful in Maasai Mara and range from five star lodges to luxury tented camps. There are also Spartan tented camps and campsites within the Game reserve. Game walks and night game runs are specialties outside the Game reserves.

Day 2: Full day exploring Masai Mara Game Reserve
Full day spent for viewing the great predators and explore the parks amazingly high concentration of wild animals. On the plains are enormous herds of grazing animals plus the elusive Cheetah and leopard hiding amidst acacia boughs. During the stay we also have an optional opportunity to visit a village of the Masai people to witness the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Dinner and overnight at the lodge/camp
