Know Before You Go

The Mara is the land of African legend: Lions are abundant throughout the park, as are elephants, giraffes, a variety of gazelle species, and zebras.

Cheetahs and leopards are also regularly seen, and, less commonly, rhinos.

The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature’s few remaining wildlife spectacles, occurs in the Mara from July to September, where the big animals and their predators are to be present in abundance during the time frame of this trip.

The reserve is home to several species of Bee-Eaters, including the flying rainbow that heads the list of the Mara’s birds.

In addition to wildlife, the Maasai Mara is also home to many members of the colorful Maasai tribe who may be seen around the park's borders—Morans (warriors) loping across the plains, young boys herding goats, or elders grouped under a tree discussing matters of the day.
