The Masai Mara delivers classic safari scenery on a grand scale! The Mara is unsurpassed for game viewing, the big cat viewing is astounding. Lion, leopard and cheetah are all represented in excellent densities and it is not uncommon to have a cat-trick of seeing all three species in a single day. Our guides know many of the individual cats by name and focus on observing natural behavior.

The great migration adds an incredible influx of hundreds of thousands of animals, typically between July and October, and this is the time for dramatic river crossings. The resident year-round wildlife is always stellar and many visitors actually prefer the lesser-visited months like November through March. Elephant, giraffe, hippo, eland, topi, hyena, zebra and crocodile are some of the common species in the area. Most guests will see around 30 different species of mammals, along with a stunning array of birds and other life.

Add the vibrant culture of the Maasai and an authentic under canvas camp experience and you have the safari that most people dream of.
