Meals included: All meals included

Accommodations: Mara Sopa Lodge / Mara Serena Safari Lodge

Spend the days on game drives exploring the Masai Mara. The open grasslands are home to incredibly rich and varied wildlife, and the awesome, annual migration of millions of wildebeest and antelope is the highlight of any visitor to Africa from July to September. The Maasai Mara Game Reserve is arguably Kenya’s most popular game sanctuary. It is the most famous and most visited game reserve in Kenya. The film ‘Out of Africa’ was made to a great extent in this reserve.

Virtually every type of wildlife can be seen in the Mara due to the migration across the Kenya/Tanzania border which is a spectacle worth seeing as millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle from Serengeti plains cross the Tanzania border at the Mara River to into Maasai Mara grazing fields from late June.

The dramatic crossing of the river and the predators who prey on the herds can be viewed from early July to August. The reserve abounds with birdlife since close to about 452 species have been recorded.
