• After breakfast, spend the entire day in the park with a packed lunch, looking for the famous Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. Lions are especially common here and have grown relatively accustomed to their two-legged visitors, which makes them easier to spot. The Mara Plains are teeming with wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, impala, and Thomson's gazelle. Cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals are also seen regularly in the reserve. In the Mara River, large numbers of hippos and crocodiles thrive, and the crocodiles are especially active from early July to the end of September, when thousands of wildebeest migrate across the river, creating a sumptuous feast for the hungry crocodiles. Birdlife in Maasai Mara is abundant and diverse, with species such as eagles, ostriches, storks, and vultures among the more than 50 different birds of prey.
