The Masai Mara Game Reserve encompasses 1,510 km² of stunning landscapes and rich riverine woodlands, shaped by the meandering Mara and Talek rivers in Kenya. This iconic destination offers a classic savannah experience, teeming with diverse wildlife. Expect to see a wealth of animals, including Masai giraffes, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyenas, topis, impalas, hartebeests, and wildebeests. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and hippos are also plentiful.
Lions are frequently seen lounging after a satisfying meal or scanning the plains for their next hunt. While cheetahs and leopards tend to be more elusive, they are often encountered during your safari.
A highlight of your visit is the annual Great Migration, which takes place from July to October. During this remarkable event, millions of wildebeests journey north from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the lush grasslands of the Masai Mara in Kenya. The peak of the migration usually occurs in August, when the herds dramatically cross the Mara River—a breathtaking spectacle that showcases the power and beauty of nature.
After enjoying the abundant grazing in the Masai Mara, the wildebeests begin their return journey south to the Serengeti, typically starting in late September and continuing through October, making for another stunning display of wildlife movement.
After a hearty breakfast, you will transfer to Entebbe International Airport for your flight to the Masai Mara. Your adventure begins with the thrill of flying over breathtaking landscapes. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our experienced guide, who will assist you with your luggage and transfer you to the lodge.
As you travel, enjoy the stunning scenery and keep an eye out for wildlife along the way. Check in at Mara Serena Safari Lodge, a luxurious accommodation offering stunning views of the reserve. Take some time to relax and freshen up before your afternoon game drive.
