Know before you go

Witness the 8th wonder of the world on a four-day Masai Mara safari.
An optional hot-air balloon safari can be arranged at an extra cost of US$ 460 per person on Day 2 and/or Day 3.
The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is unbelievable: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna - lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena, and vultures.
