Location
This safari will take place in Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara, Kenya. The Maasai Mara is Kenya's finest and most outstanding wildlife sanctuary where gentle rolling grassland ensures animals are never out of sight. The sensation of the great wildebeest migration between July and October is unparalleled.
The wildlife is far from being confined within the reserve boundaries and an even larger area extends beyond the game reserve. Centuries of close association with the wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and Masai people live in peace with one another.
The first sight of this game park is breathtaking. There is nowhere else on earth to compare with this wildlife marvel. The combination of a gentle climate, scenic splendor, and untold numbers of wildlife makes the Maasai Mara National Reserve Kenya's most popular inland destination. There are several choices of the leading tented camps in the Mara for the experience of sleeping under canvas but in luxurious conditions.
