Abundance of wildlife
The open grasslands, the Masai Mara has a variety of habitats, which in turn support a wide diversity of wildlife. It is supposed to be the home to the African ‘Big 5’ - lion, leopard, elephant, Cape buffalo and rhino. It is recognised for having a sizable permanent lion population, and there is a very high likelihood that you will see one. Cheetahs thrive in the open savannah, so the Mara is a terrific site to see them and, if you're lucky, see their amazing athleticism during a swift hunt. Hyena sightings are quite frequent day or night because of the very big clans that are brazenly wandering the plains. It is home to an abundance of other wildlife, including wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, antelope, ostrich, giraffe, cheetah, hyena and many more.
The great wildebeest migration
The Masai Mara is well known for the Great Migration Between July and October, it is the site of the annual wildebeest migration when the herds leave Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and cross the Mara River, which serves as the country's international boundary with Tanzania. They are traveling in search of better water and pasture resources. The epic migration is one of nature's most stunning sights and one of Africa's most dramatic survival tales. To stay up to date on the whereabouts of the herds, we can share the great wildebeest migration tracking map for you. The wildlife of the Masai Mara is a highlight all on its own, apart from the wildebeest migration. Four of the Big Five can be seen all year long. It’s just the rhino that remains elusive. The landscape also provides a unique chance to see cheetahs sprinting across the plains in pursuit of antelope, while the rivers hold giant crocodiles and pods of hippos, which you’ll see basking in the sun
Excellent birding opportunities
Over 1000 different bird species, including migratory birds with exquisite feathers, can be found in Kenya. Between November and March, birding is at its vibrant height, and twitchers will be astounded by the variety, from the smallest bee-eater to eagles that swoop overhead.
