We’re at the greatest wildlife park in the world so let’s get up early to enjoy it! We’ll see the light breaking over the reserve, with fresh tracks of wildlife impressed on the morning dew.

The sun’s rays breaking through the park’s many iconic acacia trees signal new beginnings and great possibilities.

This is a day of unlimited game drives and fulfilling exploration. Sightings of lion are common on these plains and we will track the mighty creatures.

The park is also known as the place where the greatest movement of animals on the planet occurs – the Great Migration. If you are here during the migrating season (July – October) you’ll be witness to thousands and perhaps tens of thousands of gazelle, wildebeest, and zebra pouring into the park over the Mara River.

We’ll enjoy lunch by the river and if in season, watch the torrent of wildlife flood into the park. Also, nearby, we’ll look for hippos and crocodiles in their river habitat.

Rounding out your first-hand experience here, we offer several optional activities: Visit the local Maasai tribe at their village. See their lifestyle and culture up close and take in their colourful ceremonies.

For the ultimate safari, hop aboard a hot air balloon for a pre-dawn ride over the park. You’ll see the sun light up the savannah while the park comes alive below. This is an inspiring and unforgettable moment you’ll be talking about for years. Just ask your driver/guide to make the arrangements.
