- Masai Mara
Throughout the world, the words Masai Mara mean wildlife adventure on the broad plains of this golden park. Here you’ll find a density of lion, wildebeest, and zebra in an unparalleled display. Any trip to the Mara is a treat and this short discovery tour will take you into the heart of a busy eco-system filled with large and small game – giraffe, elephant, rhino, hippos, and crocodiles.
We’re going to pack a lot into your safari, so we’ll leave early for a quick start on our game drives through the sprawling Mara lands. You’ll travel in a shared 4 x 4 Safari Jeep, taking in the African sunrise over Rift Valley towers and immense horizons.
Join up with other adventurer seekers for this Africa Kenya Safaris value-based group safari.
What’s Cool About the Masai Mara?
Your 2-day adventure will be a series of game drives over the rolling hills of the Masai Mara searching for the big cats and the herds, sometimes in the thousands, of grazing wildlife. We’ll travel down to the Mara River, site of the annual crossing where wildebeests and crocodiles often meet in a dramatic display of survival.
The Mara is also home to the Maasai people where you can experience an optional village encounter, learn about their lifestyle, visit their homes, and sample their crafts.
And, if you have any special requests please let our friendly booking people know. At Africa Kenya Safaris, our only wish is to create your best safari experience.
