The Masai Mara is one of Kenya's preferred wildlife reserves, known for its vast landscape of lush savannah and its incredible density of wildlife. While many visitors stay for only two or three days before continuing to other parks, this 5-day safari gives you more time to explore the reserve and enjoy its remarkable game-viewing opportunities. Travel from Nairobi to the Masai Mara, take in the Great Rift Valley viewpoint, and spend several days searching for predators and their prey in one of Africa's most celebrated safari destinations.

Our main highlight will be watching the Mara River crossing and migration in the greater Mara.
