Day 6 – 7: Masai Mara National Reserve – Kenya

The upcoming two days of our luxury camping safari promise exhilarating game viewing in Kenya’s renowned Masai Mara National Reserve.

Our morning and afternoon game drives lead us on an exhilarating quest for Africa’s Big Five and the diverse wildlife that calls this expansive Kenya national park home. On clear days, the Mara showcases breathtaking orange-tinged sunsets that create stunning photo opportunities.

The Mara Reserve spans 1510km² of breathtakingly expansive landscapes and lush riverine woodlands, tracing the serpentine paths of the Mara and Talek rivers in southwest Kenya. One glimpse is enough to capture its allure; it embodies the essence of vast African savannahs, teeming with incredible wildlife.

In the expansive Masai Mara Park, you will encounter an abundance of wildlife, including Masai giraffes, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyenas, topis, impalas, hartebeests, and wildebeests. Incredible herds of elephants, buffalos, zebras, and hippos roam freely in abundance. Lions can often be spotted lounging contentedly after a satisfying feast or scanning the vast plains, keenly searching for their next opportunity. Cheetahs and leopards may be elusive, yet they can be found with some effort. The pinnacle of wildlife excitement unfolds during the annual wildebeest migration, famously called the Great Migration. Each July and August, millions of these grazers embark on a journey north from the Serengeti, driven by the quest for greener pastures, before making their way south again in October. The abundance of hoofed animals, in turn, draws in the fierce predators of Masai Mara – lion, cheetah, jackal, hyena, wild dog, and vultures.

The optional hot-air balloon trips provide a remarkable opportunity to explore the savannah plains alive with wildlife. These Masai Mara balloon trips can be organized for an additional fee. Your guide can also arrange visits to local Maasai villages for an enriching experience.

We spend the night at the same safari camp along the banks of the Oloirigynyisho River, near Masai Mara, during nights six and seven of our Masai Mara & Kenya National Parks Safari.
