This will be a full day of unlimited animal viewing throughout the park. The reserve is known for the highest density of wild animals in the region. So, you’ll be on the lookout for Africa’s “Big Five” – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino.

But there are some 90 other mammals inhabiting these lands, so don’t be surprised to come upon impala, gazelle, cheetah, hyena, and so much more throughout your game drives.

You’ll normally see wildebeest and zebra in the Mara, but during migration season the park will be flooded with torrents of these foraging creatures, invading the reserve in their yearly cycle searching for sustenance.

If you’d like to meet the nearby Maasai villagers, your guide will be happy to arrange an optional visit.
