Know before you go

The Mara is the site of a magnificent natural event known as the Great Migration. Every year, millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti in Tanzania travel to the Mara for water and fresh grass. Following on their heels are the predators of the savannah - lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and vultures.
This is a group safari whereby you join other travellers in a van with a pop-up roof for easy game viewing. The number of people per group is 8.
