  Nairobi - Maasai Mara

  Welcome to the Masai Mara National Park, an undisputed paradise for the quantity and variety of wildlife. Renowned for its lions and the annual migration of the great wildebeest, Kenya's largest reserve is as magical as your wildest safari dreams. Everything about this reserve is remarkable. More than 450 species have been recorded, including 57 species of birds of prey. Don't worry about the climate, it is mild and rarely too hot. Rainfall is well distributed throughout the year, and when it rains, it is almost always in the late afternoon or at night. Between July and October, when the great wildebeest migration takes place in the Masai Mara National Reserve, the feeling is unparalleled. The lodge is located inside the famous Masai Mara reserve, at the confluence of the Mara River, and offers luxury accommodation. It is an unrivaled position for wildlife viewing and is close to the action during the annual wildebeest migration. Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner Mara Leisure Tented Lodge or similar

  Maasai Mara Reserve

  

  Spend a whole day enjoying morning/afternoon safaris or full-day safaris in the vast and magnificent Mara reserve, and delight in the wildlife by observing the Big Five. All meals are served at the lodge. You will be guided by expert driver-guides to spot the Great Migration and the Big Five, among others such as Thomson's and Grant's gazelles, topi, eland, and many other plains game species, which provide a rich choice of food for the dominant predators: lion, leopard, and cheetah, who hunt in this wild and untouched nature. From your vehicle, at the edge of the Mara River, stop and watch a hippopotamus submerge and resurface a few seconds later, snorting and grunting its displeasure. Or, admire the crocodiles sunbathing on the riverbanks. The reserve is home to all the "Big Five" and it is also possible to observe: baboon, ostrich, bat-eared fox, jackal, cheetah, and the rivers abound with hippos and crocodiles.
