During our safari excursions, we prefer to rise with the sun to observe its golden rays illuminating the fields. This period is particularly advantageous for wildlife observation, as the temperatures are cooler and the animals begin to emerge with the dawn.

The Masai Mara is renowned for hosting all of Africa's 'Big Five'—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros. Additionally, the expansive park is home to a diverse array of mammal species, exceeding 95 in total.

If you plan to visit the Mara during the Great Migration season, which occurs from July to October, prepare to witness an astonishing spectacle of wildlife as they traverse the Mara River from the adjacent Serengeti. During this time, tens of thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles migrate into the park in search of lush grazing grounds.
