The Masai Mara was recently named the Seventh Wonder of the modern World for staging the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth. It’s one of the world’s last remaining ecosystems harmonizing animal and nature. Masai Mara is where you’ll have one of those breath-taking, heart-stopping moments, of a million teeming Wildebeests making their annual migration across the Mara, and your first face to face encounter with the Big Five of Kenya.
Game drives are delightful and the informative Guides ensure that you sight most, if not all of Kenya’s Big Five and other plains Game. There is also the Maasai Cultural Village where you can experience firsthand, one of the few remaining ancient great cultures of the world.

Drive north down the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley. We take a brief stop at Viewpoint for a few camera shots of this amazing natural phenomenon. The history of this valley dates back to thousands of years during some great earth movements that caused massive shifting of the earth’s foundation rocks. This massive valley stretches from the Middle East down through East Africa to Mozambique in Southern Africa holding along great lakes. (e.g. Victoria, Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria, Nakuru, Naivasha, Elementaita, Magadi, Natron, Tanganyika, etc). Drive through the Great Rift Valley, the dramatic landscape and the plains inhabited by the Maasai pastoralists and across the ‘bread basket’ of Kenya covered with acres of wheat and barley.
At 4pm proceed for an evening game viewing drive in search of black manned Lions, Elephants, Leopards, Cheetahs, Buffalos and other plains game. The sighting of Rhino and Leopard cannot be guaranteed and luck is a necessary factor as they are sparsely numbered, very shy and elusive.
A full day (from 0630-1600hrs) is spent game viewing across the rich, tree studded grassland and rolling hills. This reserve is the most visited Park in Kenya and the best for game as it has an extensive road and track network, which allows excellent photography and close viewing opportunities. The famous Mara is renowned for its great herds of plains game, black manned Lions, Leopards and Cheetahs. It also has numerous Elephants and virtually every type of wildlife to be found in Kenya. Antelopes, Wildebeests, Zebras and Maasai Giraffes can be seen as well as scavengers like Hyenas and Vultures. Bird life is also prolific with over 450 species having been recorded.
At 1700hrs, visit a nearby Masai Village to see their nomadic lifestyle. (At an extra fee payable directly to the Maasai villagers – The Maasai are famous for their bravery, as they have co-existed with the animals over the years.) Rest of evening is spent at leisure with dinner and overnight at the Camp/Lodge.
After a late leisurely breakfast, check out from the Camp and depart Masai Mara region, taking lunch en route to arrive in Nairobi late afternoon, having been to Kenya’s finest wildlife sanctuary.
