Full-Day Wildlife Exploration in Masai Mara

  • After breakfast, you will spend the entire day exploring this unique park and have the opportunity to observe the Big Five in their natural habitat. Depending on the time of your visit, you may also have the chance to witness the Great Migration, when over two million animals, including wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras, migrate from the Serengeti.

The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe. Over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, leopards, many kinds of antelopes, and elephants.

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 savannah - lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena, and vultures.

Dinner and overnight at Rhino Tourist Camp or similar.
