Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara

Continue your adventure with a light aircraft transfer to the iconic Masai Mara National Reserve. Spend two full days immersed in this renowned wildlife haven, with thrilling game drives and a choice of activities.

The Mara is famous for its large populations of big cats, elephants and rhinos, as well as cheetahs, giraffes and huge wildebeest herds during the migration. Each game drive brings the possibility of a new sighting, from lions basking in the sun and elephants moving across the plains to hippos and crocodiles along the riverbanks.

You may also witness a cheetah on the hunt or a giraffe reaching gracefully for leaves. Between excursions, unwind beside the Mara River in a riverine forest setting and enjoy expertly guided game drives through one of Kenya’s most celebrated wildlife regions.
