Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya's finest wildlife reserve. Everything about this reserve is outstanding. The wildlife is abundant and the gentle rolling grasslands ensure that animals are never out of sight. Birds, too, are prolific. Including migrants, well over 450 species have been recorded, among them, 57 species of birds of prey. The climate is gentle, rarely too hot and well-spread rainfall year round. Rain, when it falls almost always chooses the late afternoon or night. Between July and October, when the great wildebeest migration is in the Masai Mara National Reserve, the sensation is unparalleled. Masai Mara is one of the best plains' game reserve where you can actually encounter a live Discovery Channel, a haven for viewing a congregation of all sorts of animals in a five-mile radius: A pride of lions can be spotted ready to make a run for a gazelle (actually, the last time we visited the Masai Mara we saw a lioness take down a giraffe), a cheetah and its cub taking a nap on a rock, a pair of ostriches walking the open stretches of the savannah or a gazelle giving birth

3-Day Mara
Day 1: Nairobi/ Masai Mara
You will be picked from your hotel or residence and depart for Masai Mara game reserve stopping for a scenic view of the Great Rift Valley. Arrive in time for lunch and later an evening game drive in this park that is essentially the northern extension of Tanzania’s Serengeti national park as an artificial border separates the two. This parks' animal concentration is the highest and the landscape is scenic savannah grassland on rolling hills which enables the reserve to attract sufficient rainfall to maintain and support a large population of herbivores, together with the predators that follow. Proceed to the Lodge for dinner and overnight.
Day 2: Masai Mara
After the early morning breakfast you depart with lunch boxes for a full day game drive in this park which is renowned for its great herds of plains game and virtually every type of wildlife to be found in Kenya. Spot the Lions, Elephants, Rhinos, Leopards and buffalos. This is also where the annual migration of close to 800,000 zebras and wilder beast takes place between the Seregeti in Tanzania and the Masai mara in early July to September. The animals move as a great mass across the savannah in a follow the leader fashion in search for food and water.
Day 3: Masai Mara/ Nairobi
Have an early breakfast followed by your final game drive in Masai Mara. Thereafter depart for Nairobi arriving in the late afternoon or early evening.
