3 DAYS MARA SAFARI
2024
The Maasai Mara Reserve, often referred to simply as the Mara, is renowned for its extraordinary concentration of wildlife. The reserve is home to the "Big Five" (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhinoceros) and hosts a vast array of other species, making it a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts. One of the Maasai Mara's most iconic events is the annual Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle move between the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti in search of fresh pasture. This dramatic spectacle usually takes place between July and October. The Maasai Mara landscape is incredibly diverse, including extensive grasslands, rolling plains and the meandering Mara River. A unique way to experience the Maasai Mara is through hot-air balloon safaris.
