The Masai Mara is situated in the Great Rift Valley in southwestern Kenya. It covers over 1,500 km2. The southern part of the park forms part of the border with Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. The Masai Mara hosts a multitude of wild animals, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo), which we may encounter.
Zebra, giraffe, and over fourteen antelope species graze on Mara’s plains amongst warthog, hyenas, mongoose, monkeys, and elephants. Around the rivers, crocodiles lie in wait for prey while hippos grunt in the water and birds twitter in the trees.
During peak season (between late June and October) we will likely see the Great Migration – an unforgettable sight! Witness more than a million wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and other wildlife on the move as they migrate to greener plains.
We pause our game drive to enjoy a picnic lunch, continuing our exploration into the late afternoon. Then later we make our way back to the Airstrip. Catching the flight between 1430 & 1500 hours we leave the incredible Mara ecosystem behind, flying back to Wilson Airport.
We land in Nairobi at about 1600 hours, bringing our remarkable fly-in wildlife journey to a close.
