Enjoy a full-day game viewing with picnic lunch on the Mara River overlooking the hippo pools and the Serengeti. One of Kenya’s premier reserves, the Masai Mara is an extension of the Serengeti and world-famous for the spectacular migration of thousands of wildebeest and zebra during the months of July and October.

The Mara is also rich in resident game with over 95 species recorded. These include the big five - elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, and rhino - as well as giraffe, cheetah, hyena, hippo, and numerous species of antelope. The reserve is also rich in birdlife with over 480 species recorded in recent times.
