The Maasai Mara is undoubtedly the top game reserve in Kenya for full-on wildlife viewing. With twice-daily scheduled flights from Nairobi directly into the Mara, access is quick and easy. Imagine&one day youre at work, the next observing a herd of elephant or pride of lions waking to another glorious African dawn. Take just two days off work and try our unusual wild weekend for a complete change of scene!
Safari in the Maasai Mara Arriving in Nairobi we take a morning flight into the heart of the Maasai Mara National Reserve and transfer directly to our luxury permanent tented camp for a three night stay. Our time here is spent enjoying the immense African wilderness and searching for wildlife during several early morning and late afternoon game drives. In the middle of the day when the Sun is high
and wildlife inactive, enjoy a leisurely lunch, cool swim and time for a siesta. Then out for another game drive. Night can be as memorable as day in Africa: listen to the nocturnal calls of the wild under a magical starlit sky. Rolling Grasslands & Plentiful Predators On safari our experienced driver/guides slowly follow the Maras dirt roads through open rolling grassland and wooded savannah in search of big game. Wildlife residing here includes elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, hartebeest, topi,Thomsons and Grants gazelle, impala and some black rhino. Predators are plentiful, with large prides of lion plus cheetah and leopard. Over 450 species of birds have been recorded and the gallery forests which flank the Mara and Talek rivers host acrobatic primates. And for a unique birds eye view of the vast plains you could always take a balloon flight!
