Highlights: Great Rift Valley Scenery, Camping, Mara River Hippo Point, Manyatta, Game and Bird Watching, Culture, Photography among other.
This safari is to Kenya's greatest concentration of game - the Maasai Mara. On our way, we pass through Kenya's Rift Valley Escarpments which offer some of the most breath taking views.
Maasai Mara is considered as Kenya's & East Africa's finest game sanctuary, it is here that the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place -The great annual Savannah Migration! Millions of wildebeest and zebras migrate from the Serengeti National Park to the Maasai Mara in search of water and pasture. The predators of the savannah (Lions, Cheetahs, Wild dogs, Jackals, Hyenas and Vultures) trail on their heels for a bountiful meal.
Other than the spectacular migration, the Mara also 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 spot the Big Five - Lions, Rhinos, Buffalos, Leopards and Elephants.
The famous Maasai tribesmen also live within the dispersal area of the game reserve.

In the night you can hear a chorus of different animal sounds as they communicate with each other in the darkness – What better way to experience bush by night?
