This is Kenya’s most popular park, and as you explore the rolling plains here with its population of the famous “Big Five” wildlife, you’ll soon see why. Should you be here during the Great Migration (July – October), you’ll be treated to what’s considered the largest movement of wildlife on the planet. Millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle cross over the Mara River and into the reserve in a massive display of foraging and survival. We’ll visit the river to take in this awesome spectacle, see the hippos there, and the crocodiles waiting to meet those invading hordes. We may also see other predators present for the hunt like lions, leopards and cheetahs. If you’d like to witness this amazing phenomenon from above, we recommend taking the optional early morning balloon safari. You’ll drift over the plains to view rivers of wildlife wending onto the horizon – an unforgettable sight. We also offer an optional visit to meet the local Maasai people, see their village and learn first-hand about their lives. Just ask your guide about either of these excursions.
